Financial Pathways to a
Catholic Memorial Education

We believe a Catholic education is essential to developing our students into
young men and women of Christ who will go out and serve the world.

education with other financial responsibilities. We are committed to helping
families find a pathway to a Catholic Memorial High School Education.

CMH offers tuition discounts for families with more than one child attending CMH. There is no
need to apply; the plan is automatic and is available to all applicants from both supporting and

CMH sponsors its own tuition assistance based on financial need. Applications will be available

Catholic Memorial with an unbiased, fact-based assessment of a family’s financial condition.
There is a minimal fee charged by the outside agency for this service.

SCHOOL HISTORY

In the early 1920s, a group of faithful parishioners
at St. Joseph Parish in Waukesha dreamed of a high
school where young people could grow in faith and
knowledge. Despite tough economic times, they went
to work raising funds. Not even an ensuing World War

or the hardships caused by the Great Depression
could shake their faith or weaken their resolve.

They persevered and in 1949 they opened the doors to
Catholic Memorial High School and dedicated it as a
living memorial to 23 young men of St. Joseph’s killed
in World War II. Years later, the dedication was extended
to include all graduates of Catholic Memorial who have
made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
Today, we are proud to honor their memory each year

at our Lives of Service Mass.
