Dear Supporters of the Chippewa Area
Catholic Schools,
Much has happened since the
2005-2006 Annual Re po rt . We have
seen the retirement of Mr. Skip August
as Pre s i d e nt of the Ch i p pe wa Are a
Catholic Schools (CAC S ) . M r. Jo h n
Flanagan, past principal at McDonell has
sought a greater love in teaching at the
3rd grade level. Filling these positions
is not an easy task, e s pecially when
these positions are so vital to the
administration and order of the schools.
Replacing Mr. August as President
of Chippewa Area Catholic Schools is
Mr. Kenith C. Britt. Besides the varied
experience, Mr. Britt is also working on a
Ph.D. in Catholic Education Leadership.
His experience and knowledge yet to
be acquired through the spe c i a l i ze d
Docto ral prog ram will provide our
Catholic schools in Chippewa Falls with
current insights and solutions in order
to face the future.
The position of principal of Notre
Dame Middle School/McDonell Central
Catholic High School has been filled by
Mr. Robert Vanderloop. We are pleased
to be able to utilize a diverse wo rk
experience, which Mr. Vanderloop has to
offer along with a Master’s Degree in
Administrative Leadership.
As was said in the last An n u a l
Re po rt, “As with all schoo l s, we have
m a ny challenges ahead, c h a l l e n g e s
which will require innovative yet also
difficult solutions.” We believe that with
the addition of Mr. Britt and Mr.
Vanderloop, along with the cooperation
from all the staff, we have a good start at
attending to the challenges ahead.
As far as the physical structure of
the layout of the schools, there have
been changes in consolidation, which
will help to streamline the schools and
to provide greater efficiency. We have
distributed grades 6th - 8th from Notre
Dame School at the location next to
Notre Dame Church to the schools of
Holy Ghost Elementary and McDonell
Ce nt ral Catholic High Schoo l ,
with the 3rd
grade moving
from Holy Ghost
El e m e nt a ry to
St. Charles Borromeo Primary. I think
this change has been well received by
both students and parents. The teachers
ought to be commended for the flexibility
they have shown in this transition.
We co ntinue to improve on the
Catholic identity of the schools. It was
encouraging to hear from many of the
s t u d e nts who gra d u ated fro m
Mc Do n e l l , h ow impo rt a nt it was fo r
them to at tend a Catholic co l l e g e. I
believe this new enthusiasm for living
the faith in their lives is becoming more
w i d e s p read throughout the Un i te d
States. We are beginning to see more
new Catholic co l l e g e s, which are
o pening their doors and making the
claim that they are truly orthodox, truly
Catholic. We hope and pray that we can
instill this enthusiasm of faith in all our
students, whatever the grade. Fr. James
Weighner, ordained in the summer of
2007, is the new chaplain at McDonell
Ce nt ral Catholic High Schoo l .
Fr. Weighner’s presence of making the
sacraments available to Notre Dame and
McDonell students is a great addition
over last ye a r. The pastors of co u r s e
continue to make their presence in the
other schools.
Eve ry week there are praye r s
offered for all parents, supporters, and
be n e f a ctors of the Ch i p pe wa Are a
Catholic Schools.The pastors and staff of
CACS are always greatly appreciative of
the support the schools receive from
their be n e f a cto r s. Please co nt i n u e
your support of the schools, but more
importantly, bring Christ in your lives
t h rough the Ch u rch and then bri n g
Christ to others.
In Christ,
Very Rev. Donald J. Bauer, Dean
Chippewa Falls Deanery

MELVIN ‘SKIP’ AUGUST President
Dear Parents, Alumni, and Friends,
The 2006-2007 school year went by
q u i c kly and was a ve ry eve ntful and
successful year. The support structure
for the Chippewa Area Catholic Schools
( CACS) is strong and co m m i t ted to
keeping CACS in the fo re f ro nt of
a ca d e m i c s, religious fo rm at i o n , a n d
s ocial pre p a re d n e s s. We we re ve ry
blessed to have the Most Rev. Jerome E.
Listecki, Bishop of our diocese, celebrate
an all-school Mass during Cat h o l i c
S c h ools Week at Mc Donell Ce nt ra l
Catholic High School with over 700
attending.
We started the 2007-2008 school
year with some exciting changes. The
largest is the consolidation into three
b u i l d i n g s. We ex pe ct ve ry po s i t i ve
results from moving our 7th and 8th
grades to McDonell, 6th grade to Holy
Gh o s t, and 3rd grade to St . Ch a rl e s
and adding two - year-old childca re. I n
addition, we totally updated our science
labs and made numerous other changes
to support the move.
John Fl a n a g a n , our dedicate d
McDonell principal of 12 years, decided
to re t u rn to his passion of te a c h i n g
young children and is teaching 3rd
grade at St. Charles. He was replaced by
Robert Vanderloop, who took charge of
grades 7 through 12. We have a few new
teachers that promise to be a true asset
to our excellent staff, as well as a few
who tra n s fe rred to other te a c h i n g
positions. As I am moving on to other
endeavors, Kenith Britt will take over as
president of CACS. I have had the pleasure
of working with both of these gentlemen
and I have been very impressed
with their kn owledge and leadership
skills. I am sure they will make positive
i m p a cts on our children and schoo l
system. We are also very excited to have
Fr. James Weighner joining us as
chaplain and teacher along with the
continued support from our Chippewa
Falls Deanery priests and our Dean, the
Very Rev. Donald Bauer.
A few faculty and staff have retired
after the 2006-07 school year. Carol Way
who taught Art at McDonell for 26 years,
decided to join
her husband in
r e t i r e m e n t ,
although she will
still be deeply involved with the school
musical. Jan Yates, English teacher for 23
years at McDonell, will be occasionally
seen as a substitute teacher. After working
closely with the alumni for 19 years,
Alice Bohl has retired, but is willing to
help whenever needed. Although we
have very able replacements, these dedicated
people will be missed very much.
Due to restructuring costs associated
with moving No t re Dame Mi d d l e
S c h ool to Mc Donell Ce nt ral Cat h o l i c
High School and thirteen months of
health insurance premiums, we ended
the year slightly in the re d. Due to
previous years’ operations, we were able
to utilize a small portion of the surplus to
ensure that we didn’t have to go further
in debt. This was achieved through careful
planning by our committees, hard
work by all to institute changes, and belt
tightening by our staff.
Our CACS Strategic Plan continues
to progress. We concentrated on the top
five prioritized objectives and now that
t h ey are basically co m p l e te d, we are
m oving down the pri o ri ty list of
o b j e ct i ves to achieve our strate g i c
planning goals. Our strategic plan will
guide us in the right long-term direction.
I feel confident that Mr. Britt will continue
the process forward as we work on
actions for the other objectives.
Be assured that there is a dedicated
staff of professional people training our
children to be the best adults they can
be. We have a common vision at our
schools, focused on assuring that our
s t u d e nts gra d u ate from our schoo l
system as mature adults with an acute
understanding of what it means to be
truly Catholic.
May God bless each and every one
of you,
Melvin ‘Skip’ August, President
Chippewa Area Catholic Schools

KATHY DAHL * Education Commission
*Kathy’s term was completed this past September. She was replaced by William Richlen.
Dear Parents, Alumni, and Friends of the
Chippewa Area Catholic Schools,
The theme for the 2006-2007
s c h ool year was Fa i t h , Family and
Future. The Strategic Plan that has been
d eve l o ped for our Ch i p pe wa Are a
Catholic School (CACS) Sys te m
addresses the need to look to the future,
with focuses on increasing our faith life
and stressing the importance of family.
FA I T H : The Catholic Ident i ty
Group has been formally added as a
s u bco m m i t tee to the Ed u cat i o n
Commission. With the guidance of our
Dean, the Very Rev. Donald Bauer, the
m e m bers of this group have be e n
offering ideas and assisting in activities
that promote the faith-based aspect of
the education that is provided by
CACS. I have personally observed an
increased demonstration of reverence,
faithfulness and a willingness to serve in
our student s. This has also be e n
enhanced by the Ambassador Program,
which continues to grow and flourish
under the direction of Mary Jacobson.
FA M I LY: In my ten years as a
member of the Education Commission,
my main concern has always been the
kids, and also their families. We have
great students and our system has the
wo n d e rful suppo rt of many pare nt s
who donate co u ntless hours as
vo l u nte e r s. The Public Re l ations (PR)
committee, chaired by Michele Kressin,
co ntinues to offer many act i v i t i e s
t h at provide oppo rtunities for the
s t u d e nts and their families to wo rk
together. We are striving to portray a
positive image to the general public via
community service activities including
leaf raking, Irvine Park spring clean-up,
and observing Respect for Life month. A
birthday card program for children from
birth to five has been started to assist in
the effort to increase enrollment. We
also try to cre ate a we l co m i n g
at m o s p h e re with the Family Me nto r
p rog ram and hosting CACS Fa m i l y
Night.
FUTURE: This is my final year as a
re p re s e nt at i ve on the Co m m i s s i o n .
As I look back at the CACS Sys te m ,
I see that we have
undergone many
changes and will
co ntinue to do
so. We cannot grow without change.
I am excited about the future of our
system. Mary Rose Willi, chairperson of
our finance co m m i t tee stated that,
“For several years, CACS had not been
able to reduce debt to the Diocese but
now due to the generosity of parishioners
in cooperation with the pastors,
the CACS debt will be eliminated at the
conclusion of the pledge period of the
“We Belong to Christ Campaign”. This
has been a tremendous benefit to CACS
as we look to the future. O u r
Development Office, led by Rusty Volk,
co ntinues to pursue funding fro m
s ponsors and be n e f a cto r s, m a ny of
whom have donated so generously in
the past. Mary Huffcutt has put much
time and effort into educating the staff
on gra nt applications to furt h e r
improve our financial situation. I want
to thank Skip August for his leadership
for the past couple years and welcome
Kenith Britt as our new president. Also,
thank you to John Flanagan for his
dedication and service, and we wish him
the best in his new po s i t i o n . Ro be rt
Vanderloop is now the principal for the
newly combined Notre Dame Middle
School and McDonell Central Catholic
High School for the 2007-08 school year.
Our new leaders will guide us into the
future with a fresh perspective. I also
want to acknowledge our faculty and
support staff who consistently strive to
develop the moral, spiritual, intellectual,
and physical potential of each student.
We are very grateful for your past,
present, and future support and prayers.
Please join me in asking for God’s
blessings in our endeavors to provide a
s t rong Catholic education for our
students, who are our future.
Sincerely,
Kathy Dahl

RUSTY VOLK Development
Dear Parents, Alumni, Grandparents,
Supporting Businesses, and Friends,
On behalf of the faculty, staff and
students of the Chippewa Area Catholic
Schools (CACS), I would like to extend a
huge thank you for your support. Our
l ocal parishes part i c i p ated in the
Diocesan Capital Campaign “We Belong
to Christ” in the Fall of 2006. Through
this campaign, 80% of funds generated
will be used for local parish needs and
20% will be used for diocesan needs,
which include the facilitating of the
campaign. CACS is a recipient of this
campaign as our parishes have agreed
to eliminate over $600,000 in current
school debt to the Diocese of La Crosse.
This means our Catholic schools in
Chippewa Falls will be debt free in five
years. This is wonderful news as CACS
has already seen $136,000 given toward
this debt reduction.
Another capital campaign began
for the renovation of Dorais Field in the
Spring of 2007. This two-million dollar
campaign “Ma rching Fo rwa rd” wa s
s u c cessful in generating pledges to
replace bleachers, lighting, press box,
concession/bathrooms and the football
field surf a ce with artificial turf.
Residents and businesses of Chippewa
Falls recognized a need to update this
facility for our public/Catholic schools
and other community activities. What a
beautiful addition to the city of
Ch i p pe wa Fa l l s. Together these
campaigns have generated over $4.3
million in local support. The campaigns
show the dedication and support of our
community to reinvest in our school
systems.
L E AVING A LEGAC Y
If you are interested in leaving a legacy to our schools,
for yourself or a loved one, please contact your local
financial advisor or Rusty Volk at the Development
Office located at the Chippewa Area Catholic Schools’
Central Office. They will assist you with options of
leaving a legacy to advance Catholic school education
through the schools or through your parish.

In the Fa l l
of 2006, I asked
you to suppo r t
our annual fund
drive – Faith, Family and Future. I wish
to thank all those who responded to my
call for financial support and although
we fell a bit short of our goal, we did
m a ke gains through an increase in
matching gifts and funds received to
re n ovate the science labs and other
projects at McDonell High School. With
debt elimination on the hori zon the
future looks bright for the Chippewa
Area Catholic Schools.
Our theme for 2007-2008 is
Pa rtners in Faith and we are aski n g
everyone to reunite with us as partners
in our faith and in our responsibility to
educate the children entrusted to our
ca re. As our local parishioners and
families fulfill their pledges to our
parish campaigns we also see the need
to give to the annual appeal of our
Catholic school. As Catholics we give to
those in need, and the Catholic schools
we attended or used for the education
of our children need your financial
assistance. Be generous with your gifts
to our annual fund drive Partners in
Faith and consider leaving Mc Do n e l l
Central Catholic High School a gift in
your estate plans.
Thank you for your co nt i n u e d
support,

A.C.T. College Test
The A.C.T. test is taken every year by McDonell
Central Catholic High School students. The
A . C . T. re po rt re f l e cts the achieve m e nt of
McDonell graduates to the extent to which
they are prepared for college-level work. The
A.C.T. consists of curriculum-based testing
of educational deve l o p m e nt in English,
mathematics, reading, and science designed
to measure the skills needed for success in
first-year college coursework. The maximum
possible score on the A.C.T. test is 36. The table
s h ows the five - year trend of our student s
compared to the state and national averages.
The 2006-2007 sco res are for the 2008
graduating class.
P.L.A.N. Test
The P.L.A.N. test is given to all high school
sophomores in November. It has proven to be
an accurate predictor of A.C.T. scores. The
sophomores who took the test in 2006 scored
an average of 20.3 out of 25 possible points,
while the national average was 17.1%. The
score for the 2006-07 school year is for the
students who will graduate in 2009.
Iowa Test of Basic Skills
The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (I.T. B.S.) wa s
a d m i n i s te red in grade 2 at St . Ch a rl e s
Borromeo Primary School, grade 4 at Holy
Ghost El e m e nt a ry, and grades 6 and 8 at
Notre Dame Middle School. Our percentiles
represent where the average student in our
school scored in comparison to the national
average (50% is the national average).
Although this information is helpful in
monitoring the children’s academic growth, it
does not measure many other areas important
to the development of the whole child. The
data provides the schools with information to
plan future goals and objectives to meet the
needs of the children in those academic areas.
Religion Assessments
During the 2006-07 school year the religion
a s s e s s m e nts we re given to student s,
Diocesan-wide, in grades 4, 8, and 11. The
different assessments were broken down into
two parts – the Faith Knowledge Assessment
and the confidential Attitudes and Practices
Survey. The Chippewa Falls Deanery received
results for their schools which detailed areas
of strength and growth.
The Chippewa Area Catholic Schools are
e n co u raged to make use of the data to
s t rengthen the faith fo rm ation and
kn owledge of our childre n , young pe o p l e,
and parents.
“Re j o i ce in hope, e n d u re in afflict i o n , pe r s eve re in praye r.” Romans 12:12

Matching Gifts

Donations of time and treasure are often
m atched by an individual’s place of
employment. Companies with a Matching
Gifts Program recognize the importance
of charitable organizations. These programs
give added incentive to employees
to increase their giving.
The Chippewa Area Catholic
Schools are fortunate to be on
the receiving end of matching
gifts from many companies. In
2006-2007 we received $3,810 in
matching gifts. We thank both the
individual donors and their
employers for their generosity.

ANNUAL VOLUNTEERS
The achievements of the Chippewa Area Catholic
S c h ools (CACS) would never be acco m p l i s h e d
without the dedication of hundreds of volunteers
who help whenever needed. Parents, grandparents,
faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends volunteer
their time and talent to help the numero u s
organizations and clubs within the Catholic School
system. Without our volunteers, programs and extra
curricular activities would not exist. The financial
impact of our volunteers is irreplaceable. We thank
all our vo l u nteers for their ste wa rdship to the
Chippewa Area Catholic Schools.

“Let us not grow tired of doing wo r k , for in due time we shall reap our harve s t, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

In May of 1881, Father Charles F.X. Goldsmith
notified the local Board of Education that he
wished to purchase a small community school
for the purpose of conducting it as a parochial
institution.
In September of 1881, the School Sisters of
Notre Dame, from Milwaukee, came to staff the
school. Sister M. Estelle was the first principal
of Notre Dame School. Student attendance
was 500.
In 1882, when school opened on September
2nd, twenty-eight pupils took possession of a
new school room which they called “The High
School Department.”
In September of 1885, a regular high school
course of study began at Notre Dame School,
thus forming the first High School. An addition
was added at the High School entrance to
accomodate the growth and allow extra space
for the high school.
On June 29, 1889, the first students graduated
from Notre Dame High School.They were Mary
and Elizabeth Jennings.
On December 22, 1894, after a rigid examination
by unive r s i ty pro fe s s o r s, No t re Da m e
School was placed on the accredited list of the
University of Wisconsin.
In 1901, the Notre Dame Alumni Association
was formed in accordance with the wishes of
Father Phelan and Sister Mary Francis Xavier
that “the graduates of Notre Dame should not
sever forever their connections with their Alma
Mater.”
On June 2, 1907, the cornerstone for the new
McDonell Memorial building was laid.
In May of 1924, a new Notre Dame School was
built to house the grade school student s.
Twenty years later the Fr. Mac gymnasium,
cafeteria, and band room were added.
In 1987, the Chippewa Area Catholic Schools
were formed. Notre Dame School began to
house the middle school students, grades 6-8.
In June 2007, the Notre Dame Middle School
building was closed. Grade 6 went to Holy
Ghost. Grades 7 and 8 were transferred to the
McDonell Central Catholic High School building
for the beginning of the 2007-08 school
year.
