History
[edit | edit source]The roots of Kuemper Catholic School go all the way back to 1874 with the Mt. Carmel parish began a small pioneering Catholic school. By 1916, each of the 12 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.
St. Bernard High School in Breda consolidated into Kuemper High in 1979.[1]
The Christ the King School in Breda,[2] along with the Holy Trinity Catholic grade school, consolidated into Kuemper Catholic System in 2003.[1]

The system has four buildings: Holy Spirit Center for kindergarten through grade 3, the third and fourth floors of St. Angela Center for grades 7 and 8, St. Lawrence Center for grades 4–6, and Kuemper High School for grades 9–12.
