Learn about the academics and extracurricular activities at Messmer High School, 742 W. Capitol Dr., Milwaukee, during an Open House Sunday, Oct. 15. Open House hours will be 1-3 p.m. and will feature school tours, as well as the opportunity to discuss the Catholic high school advantage with principals, teachers, students and alumni.

This is the perfect time for parents and prospective students to learn about admission requirements and placement tests, as well as receive tuition and financial aid information. Come meet the people and explore the school. Witness how Messmer’s commitment to blending academics with spiritual and moral direction reflect and reinforce your Catholic values, one of the greatest gifts you can pass on to your children.

“I encourage parents to seriously consider a Catholic high school for their son or daughter,” Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan said. “At a time when there is a moral decline, the infusion of Christ into a young person’s daily life is more necessary than ever. I recommend our schools to parents as the best place to educate a young Catholic academically, socially, physically and spirituality.”
