St. Francis Xavier School is a fully
accredited Catholic school started in October of 1898 by the Racine
Dominican
Sisters. The parish was divided in 1958 with St. Robert Bellarmine
being built on the east side and St. Francis being built on the west
side. Both schools operated until 1969 when St. Francis closed. St.
Robert Bellarmine, staffed by the Merrill Holy Cross Sisters, remained
open. In 1977, The Merrill Catholic Schools became an entity with the
St. Francis building housing the middle school (sixth through eighth)
and the St. Robert Bellarmine building housing the elementary grades
(first through fifth). The parishes were merged in 1997 under the name
of the mother parish, St. Francis Xavier. All eight grades were moved
to the former St. Robert Bellarmine building. A new addition to
accommodate
the middle school was built in 1997-98 with Pre-K and Kindergarten
being added.
St. Francis Xavier Catholic School
welcomes children of all faiths.
Students come from families that want their children's education to
include values and tradition.
Our school invites and
encourages children and their families to
personalize their responsibilities to their local church, to their
community, and to the world around them.
