New Catholic High School proposed in Dodgeville

DODGEVILLE -- A group of parents and professionals in the Dodgeville area in Iowa County is undertaking an effort to found an independent high school in the Catholic tradition.

Michael J. Lancaster, superintendent of Catholic schools for the Diocese of Madison, said the group has received approval from the Diocese of Madison to name the school Holy Family High School (HFHS).

“While the diocese has and will continue to provide guidance, as is the case with all schools, HFHS will receive no financial support from the diocese,” said Lancaster.

The high school would not be connected to any single parish. According to canon law, HFHS may not yet be called a “Catholic school” until it petitions the bishop and he grants this recognition.

“The process of founding a new high school is complex, and this dedicated group has undertaken an arduous but most noble and appreciated task,” said Lancaster in a February 4 letter to pastors, other priests, and principals in the Diocese of Madison.
