Catholics Plan New Southwest Side Catholic High School
Plans call for a Catholic high school on the southwest side to serve up to 1,500 students with a projected cost between 1.0 and 1.5 million dollars. The city sold land around Anderson lagoon for 7,000 dollars to the Milwaukee archdiocese, with property adjacent to the lagoon designated for an athletic field. The project aims to relieve crowding at public schools and could save taxpayers about 292 thousand dollars annually.
