|
The first time that the school question was discussed by the members of |
|
Saint Clement Parish was February 24, 1889. |
|
All who were present were in favor of establishing a Catholic School. |
| School opened on September 2, 1889. |
|
Two Sisters of St. Francis from St. Joseph's Convent, Milwaukee, taught in the school. |
| The enrollment was 33. |
|
The first school room was the chapel in the basement of the church. |
|
This was too small, too dark and unhealthy. |
|
Another meeting was called on October 6, 1889 to discuss building a new school house. |
|
|
| The blessing of St. Clement School took place on February 12, 1890 in the morning |
| before a Solemn High Mass. |
| In 1934, a high school was opened but due to lack of space, |
| it was discontinued in 1940. |
| A new school was built in 1955. |
|
|
| Six more classrooms were added in 1962. |
|
|
| Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi arrived to work in the school in 1978. |
