G r e e t i n g s f r o m t h e P r e s i d e n t Dear Friends, We are pleased to present to you Messmer Catholic Schools’ Annual Report for fiscal year 2010. We are even more pleased to share with you examples of how your support has positively impacted the lives of over 1,500 students at three campuses: Messmer High School, Messmer Preparatory Catholic School and St. Rose and St. Leo Catholic School. While the majority of Messmer students live below the federal poverty level, our students buck the trend of poor achievement among at-risk populations by consistently making gains in academics. We are often asked what makes Mesmer Catholic Schools special. We attribute our success to the following concepts, The Messmer Way: • Rigorous academics We expect the best from our students and do not settle for less. We support our students with the tools they need, ranging from Honors and Advanced Placement opportunities to academinc support and tutoring. • Present, focused and prepared The first step in success is being present, focused and prepared. Messmer has mandatory student attendance requirements, holds high expetations for student, faculty and staff professionalism, and provides opportunites for parents to be active participants in their child’s education. • Catholic, faith-based education We see our students as individuals and we work to cultivate our students’ gifts for their own leadership development, but also for the greater good. And it is our Catholic, faith-based curriculm that transforms our students from within. On these pages you will find examples of The Messmer Way in action. You will also see that our students’ achievement is the direct result of a strong network of friends, volunteers and donors, all united to Lead the Way. You have our sincere thanks for helping us advance our important mission in urban education. With warm regards, Br. Bob Smith, OFM Cap President and CEO
