Rooted in a proud Catholic tradition that began in 1874, Kuemper Catholic School System has grown from a small parish school in Mt. Carmel to a thriving preschool through high school community of over 1,150 students. Guided by strong values and a commitment to faith, we provide families with the gift of a well-rounded education where quality academics are seamlessly blended with gospel-centered living. Our mission is to nurture faith-filled, enthusiastic disciples who are prepared to lead with virtue, purpose, and service in tomorrow’s Church and communities.

Today, Kuemper remains dedicated to academic excellence, spiritual growth, and opportunities that help students discover their unique gifts. From superior test scores and innovative curriculum to vibrant extracurriculars and fine arts programs, we inspire students to embrace the “5 C’s”, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and Christ. With the support of generous donors and alumni, financial aid continues to make Catholic education accessible to families, ensuring that this tradition of faith and learning endures for generations to come. Together, we carry forward a mission centered on helping our young people grow in wisdom, leadership, and faith.
