2 Letter From Howard Ludwigson

It was an honor last spring when the pastors of our Deanery asked me to be the Interim President of Regis Catholic Schools. This is truly one of the best educational systems in Wisconsin, and to help shape its future was an awesome task. We have great employees, parents, and students that continue to contribute to our success. The support from everyone made my job easier.

When I started, there were many great puzzle pieces in place for growth and improvements, but RCS needed a clear direction for its future structure. Bishop Callahan listened to our requests, which were supported by research and demographic studies, and agreed to allow RCS to continue forward with the structure it has today. Today, we are on track to meet all of our academic, financial, and enrollment goals.

With the help of the RCS supporting parishes, the Education Commission, the Finance Council, the RCS Foundation, the RCS leadership team and many others we have accomplished many great goals and achievements:

• We are on track to reach and exceed our enrollment goal of 839 next year, up from 820 this year. RCS will have the largest kindergarten class it has had in many years. • Our fourth grade students tested into the top 1% in the nation on the Iowa Test “I am so grateful of Basic Skills. • Out of 54 graduating seniors the average GPA was 3.495. Fifty-three AP tests were taken by 33 seniors. The estimated ACT composite score for just the to be a part of Regis seniors is 24.5, with 48 taking the ACT exam. • We continued implementation of the updated Math curriculum, began writing a new Language Arts curriculum, and next school year we will Catholic Schools start writing the new Science and Social Studies curriculum. • We added three new sections of 4K (4-Year old Kindergarten) – two at St. Mary’s and one at Genesis Child Development Center, for a total of seven and all we have 4K programs and four preschool programs throughout our system. • Contributions from our stakeholders have enabled us to make important repairs at Regis. These include replacing crumbling or broken exterior bricks, accomplished.” tuck pointing, fix the leaking roof, fix the broken fence, modernize the restrooms, and renovate the library. • Contributions from our stakeholders have enabled us to meet several needs for our elementary buildings, provide iPads and iPad training for all faculty, and provide iPads for incoming 6th grade students for the 2013-2014 school year. • We improved security measures and equipment in all buildings for the greater safety of our students and staff. • Finally, we drafted and started implementing our 5-Year strategic plan. More will be published about this in the future.

As I look back on this blessed year, I am so grateful to be a part of Regis Catholic Schools and all we have accomplished. It is gratifying to move forward to continue my service as the new Regis Middle School and High School principal next year, and I ask you to join me in welcoming Mark Gobler ’73 as our new president. I love our students and the entire Regis family, and I love working towards continuous improvement.

Have a blessed Rambler day,

Howard Ludwigson 2012-2013 Interim President Incoming Regis Middle & High School Principal
