It reminds me of an important taming technique: make friends with meetings. Profitable and enjoyable meetings make for friendly calendars! At least, they do for me. Over the last couple of months I learned even the friendliest calendar cannot include all rovincial worthwhile Oblate meetings. Two late winter-gatherings I could not attend stand out as examples of this. Both have to do with the very life of the province: who we are and what we do.

    VISION PROGRESS AND PLANS AT ST. LAURENCE HIGH SCHOOL SPRING 2020 2020 Annual Report Pre-Proof Highlighting Illinois State Scholars Alumni Updates Letter from the President Celebrating growth in our school community Dear Friends of St. Laurence, St. Laurence is proud of its most recent accomplishments. We live our mission and provide a Catholic education to our students. Most importantly, we embrace our values of compassion, courage, excellence and community. How do we do this? During a time of transformation, there is one constant – growth. After another successful entrance exam, St. Laurence is on track to have sustainable growth by accepting 250 incoming freshmen per year. In addition, since we stand up for what is right, we continue to minimize tuition cost increases and remain one of the most valuable Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese – nearly $2,000 more affordable than any of our peer institutions. Transformation requires courageous leaders. These leaders rallied the community and remained brave when confronted with uncertainty. I want to thank our entire community as we finish our third year of a successful co-educational transition. In the next two years, we will grow to over 900 students with over 40% of them being female! As we pursue excellence in all endeavors, our academic growth is off the charts! Our teachers and students embrace a growth mindset, which leads to achievement. Academic programs are producing students that improve an average of 15 national percentile points from entrance exam to ACT. In 2021, we will become one of three Catholic high schools in Illinois to be an International Baccalaureate World School upon completing our candidacy phase.

Unified this school year from the consolidation of Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in McSherrystown, Immaculate Con- ception of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in New Oxford, and Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Cone- wago, St. Teresa of Calcutta School was formed following a several- year study of Catholic school edu- cation in the Adams Deanery. The Conewago Campus is located at the former Sacred Heart School, and the McSherrystown Campus at the former Annunciation School.

  • Annual Report 2010.Pdf
    Mission MOTHER McAULEY LIBERAL ARTS HIGH SCHOOL is a Catholic educational community committed to providing a quality secondary education for young women. In the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy and their foundress, Catherine McAuley, we prepare students to live in a complex, dynamic society by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively, respond compassionately to the needs of their community and assume roles of Christian leadership. In partnership with parents, we empower young women to acknowledge their giftedness and to make decisions with a well-developed moral conscience. We foster an appreciation of the diversity of the global community and a quest for knowledge and excellence as life-long goals. ABOUT McAULEY A small group of Mercy Sisters arrived in Chicago in 1846, led by Frances Warde, Catherine McAuley's closest friend. Within weeks they opened a "select school" that became St. Francis Xavier Academy for Females, the first school chartered in the city of Chicago. The course of study covered primary, secondary and collegiate levels. The first building was located on Wabash Avenue between Madison and Monroe Streets. When the Chicago Fire in 1871 destroyed the original building, St. Francis Academy relocated to 29th and Wabash for a short time, then to a larger site at 49th and Cottage Grove in 1900. In the 1950's, the southwest side of Chicago needed a Catholic girls' school to serve a fast-growing population. In 1956 "the Academy" relocated once again. Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School and St. Xavier College (which is now a university) opened in the fall of 1956 to serve secondary and post secondary students respectively.
