Staffing Updates:

I am excited to share that after an extensive search and a month of interviews, we have filled the School Secretary/Administrative Assistant position beginning next school year. An announcement will be made after her current employer is notified. Stay tuned for more details.


Mrs. Duerst, our Spanish and Music teacher, has accepted additional hours at one of the other schools where she teaches. As a result, we are currently searching for a part-time Music teacher and possibly a part-time Spanish teacher depending on if/how class schedules need to be adjusted. If you know of anyone who may be interested, please encourage them to contact me by either phone (262-628-1711) or email (klestina@sgabriel.org). Additional details are available on the archdiocese website under "careers".

Student Life

This week at St. Gabriel Catholic School!


6th grade's World's Fair: Our amazing 6th graders brought the world to life with their fabulous Worlds Fair event on Wednesday morning. Visitors had the incredible opportunity to embark on a global journey, exploring over 10 countries through the hard work of our students. Each student researched, wrote, created, and presented about their chosen country, resulting in a truly immersive experience that allowed us to travel around the world without leaving our school grounds. What a fantastic achievement!

St. Gabriel Auction Experience

Second-grader, Spencer, had a great time with Lunch Director, Mrs. Weyer, a couple of weeks ago for a St. Gabriel Auction Experience - "Design a Lunch for the Whole School with Mrs. Weyer". It was a sell-out lunch - way to go Chef Spencer


Thank you, Mrs. Weyer, for creating a special and memorable experience. Also, a big thank you to his Mom, Kristen Hook, for supporting the auction and bidding on this fantastic experience.


Don't forget to SAVE THE DATE for the 2025 Auction on March 1!
