Kuemper Catholic High School

The roots of Kuemper Catholic School go all the way back to 1874 with the Mt. Carmel parish beginning a small pioneering Catholic school. By 1916, each of the 13 area parishes surrounding Carroll built their own Catholic grade school, and eventually Catholic high schools were also established in Breda, Mt. Carmel, Templeton and Vail. Fr. Joseph Kuemper (1855-1923) left his mark and an important legacy on Carroll county’s 20th century history.

 The hard-working German immigrant parish priest and carpenter founded the St. Angela Domestic Science Institute in 1908 – an all-girls boarding high school in Carroll to educate young women in the art of Christian homemaking. It was one of the the first schools to accept students from across parishes. The school was later renamed the St. Angela Academy.
The 2003-04 school year saw a complete Catholic school unification from kindergarten to grade twelve. All students of the area now attend Catholic schools in Carroll. 2004 also marked the 50th anniversary of Kuemper Catholic High School and the 130th anniversary of that first pioneering parish school in Mt. Carmel in 1874.

Over 11,000 St. Angela Academy and Kuemper High School alumni, along with thousands more parish school graduates of the area serve across the world in many vocations. From priests, sisters, teachers and civic leaders to valedictorians of prestigious universities, chief executives of national corporations, and rocket scientists for the U.S. space program, all these Kuemper alumni continue to serve in their careers and exemplify today’s mission statement of the Kuemper Catholic School System: “providing a Christ-centered environment where students grow spiritually, academically and socially becoming responsible citizens of the world.”
