MISSION STATEMENT: St. Charles Parish School in Hartland, Wisconsin nourishes and grows a vibrant Catholic community committed to innovation, responsiveness and compassion as it prepares and challenges students in their intellectual, spiritual and moral lives.

We can't wait to show you all of the changes we've made on our campus this summer!
We are in the process of moving into our new School Office and 4th Grade classroom and are so grateful that this renovation project was completed earlier than expected. These spaces turned out beautifully!

Our Cafeteria has expanded! The storage closet in that space was cut in half to allow for more lunch tables to fill the room. As our school community grows, so does the need to accomodate more scholars at lunch! 

You will also notice that a security gate has been installed at the entrance to our west lot. The gate will be open during pick-up and drop-off but will otherwise be closed throughout the school day to keep students and staff safe on the playground. You will be able to enter our campus through the northeast entrance (off of Circle Drive) if you need to pick up your child early or drop them off late.
