Our Students
Each school year, the St. Monica School student body represents the St. Monica School community with dignity and class. For nearly 80 years, SMS students have excelled academically, served selflessly, and aspired to greatness.

Our students come from throughout the North Shore communities – Whitefish Bay, Glendale, Fox Point, Shorewood, Mequon, River Hills, Brown Deer, and more. As a school community, we have sought to reach beyond the immediate area in which we reside to recruit families from throughout Milwaukee and the surrounding areas. It is a growing student body – enrollment has steadily increased since 2002 and stands near 435 students in the 2008-2009 school year.
Upon graduation, our alumni tend to attend one of three Archdiocese of Milwaukee high schools (Divine Savior Holy Angels, Marquette, or Dominican) or one of two local public high schools (Whitefish Bay or Nicolet). Their record of academic and extracurricular success at the high school and the college and university of their choice is a resounding testament to the Exemplary Catholic elementary school education St. Monica School provided them..
Eighth Graders Use Artistic Talents to Help Needy
St. Monica School 8th grade students decided to put their artistic abilities to use to help local needy. At the suggestion of science teacher Carmen Bond and with guidance from Art teacher Sue Miller, the students make ceramic bowls each school year for the annual "Empty Bowls Milwaukee" event held in October. This project is a fundraising event to benefit food pantries in the Greater Milwaukee area. For the suggested minimum donation of $15, attendees can select from over 2,000 handcrafted bowls donated by local artists, teachers, and students from Southeastern Wisconsin. The bowls are to be taken home as a reminder that someone's bowl is always empty.
