12. We provide a safe and welcoming environment for all.


Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Green Bay are a community of parents, teachers, administrators, clergy and religious with values rooted in the Catholic faith, all working together to provide our students with a strong foundation to become missionary disciples. Our schools provide opportunities for students, families, faculty, staff and board members to grow in a commitment to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.



Mission of St. Clare:

A family of lifelong learners dedicated to the growth and development of each person, as a disciple, by nurturing Catholic faith, talents, and stewardship.


Our Vision:

To be witnesses of the Gospel in our words, actions, and all that we do.


Our Values:

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Faithfulness, & Self-Control


Thank you for trusting the St. Clare Parish & School Team with helping your family and educating your sons and daughters. We are grateful you are here!


May God continue to bless you, guide you, and keep you safe.

Sincerely,

Katie Stanczak, Principal

Catholic Schools Week: St. Clare Service Focus

St. Clare School will be focusing on our neighbors and the less fortunate among us.

As Jesus taught us:


"I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have love you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (NABRE John 13:34-35).


Please watch the short video below about St. John's Ministries and the work that they do. Although many know St. John's Ministries as the St. John's Homeless Shelter in Green Bay. The organization has grown into so much more. Through the entire program, they are able to help people from all over NE Wisconsin, including our region of southern Brown/Northern Outagamie counties.


In 2021-2022, the organization sheltered 564 people. If you are interesting in learning more, please reach out to: info@stjohnsgreenbay.org

A Note About Registration and Enrollment

Dear St. Clare Families,


I want to thank you for your interest in choosing St. Clare Catholic School as a faith-filled learning hub for your family. Admittedly, the decision can be a big financial factor and commitment for families. I also realize that the Parish and School's decision to modify the tuition model can cause additional questions or need for conversation. Please know that Fr. Brian and I are open to any and all of your questions, feedback, or concerns.


I would also encourage you to elect the tuition model that best fits your conscience and family need or dynamic. While questions and conversations about finances can be stressful, at any time of year, please know that this process is designed to be reflective NOT judgmental. Please be honest and know that we are here to support you as much as possible.


Sincerely,

Katie Stanczak
