Principal

About St. Catherine's High School Located in Racine, Wisconsin, St. Catherine's High School is one of seven Siena Catholic Schools of Racine, a system of Catholic schools formed by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in 2017. While our schools have decades-and in the case of St. Cat's, over 160 years-of history, the formation of the Siena system has enabled centralization and strengthening across curriculum, faith formation, operations, human resources, and advancement. St. Catherine's High School, a Catholic career and college-preparatory school in Racine, Wisconsin, invites mission-driven and visionary leaders to apply for the position of principal, beginning in Summer 2026. Rooted in a rich tradition of Catholic education and founded by the St. Dominican of St. Catherine's of Siena (Racine Dominicans), St. Catherine's forms young men and women to lead lives of faith, scholarship, and service. St. Catherine's has a diverse student body in grades 9-12, and as the only high school in Siena, it is considered the flagship school of the system. The school benefits from a collaborative Catholic education system committed to accessibility, excellence, and long-term sustainability. St. Catherine's is distinguished by its Dominican charism, emphasizing the pursuit of truth, the integration of faith and reason, and a commitment to community and service. Students are challenged to grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially in preparation for success in college and beyond. For more information about St. Cat's, please visit their website.
