History

St. Mary Catholic Church in Menasha opened an elementary school in the late nineteenth-century, adding high-school grades when opening a new building in 1928. A three-story building, it contained a gymnasium, cafeteria, and all the other typical amenities associated with a high school of the day. The wings of the building housed the elementary school. There were additions to the building in 1952 and 1962. The school stayed open until the spring of 1997 when a new building was erected in the Town of Menasha, now Fox Crossing. Parts of the old high school were demolished to make way for additions to the grade school.

The new building opened in the fall of 1997. It includes a small chapel, three computer labs, one distance-learning lab, traditional classrooms, a cafeteria with a stage, and a significantly larger gymnasium. Since 1997, additional facilities have been added, including the EEEC Energy Center; Jane's Woods, a two-acre wildlife sanctuary; and Zephyr Fields, a new football/soccer stadium. In 2013, the school completed the construction of the Jane Bergstrom Fine Arts Education Center, which includes a 495-seat performance theater and a 115-seat forensic theater.

The school won several championships during its association with WISAA (Wisconsin Independent School Athletic Association).
