St. John Bosco, pray for us!
“A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person.
And a good Catholic school, over and above this,
should help all its students to become saints.”

Mr. Lemieux is both a lifelong Catholic and a lifelong native of a Virginia, Minnesota. He graduated from Virginia High School in 2002, and from the College of St. Scholastica in 2006 with a BA in Elementary Education. He enjoys camping, geocaching, and being outdoors with his wife and children. When Mr. Lemieux was in middle school, his favorite subjects were Science and Math!
Hi! I am Mary Kay Wildes. I am from Virginia (born and raised). I met my husband Tom while studying at the University of Wisconsin, Superior. Following college, we relocated to Virginia and purchased my great-grandparents home. It was one of the first houses in Virginia and was actually moved from what is now a mine pit at the end of Chestnut Street. We have two amazing boys. I have been a teacher at Marquette for many years. Teaching the faith and all the values associated with it brings joy and inspiration to my days. Marquette is like a second family to me. I have an open-door policy: If you have a question or concern, just let me know!
Meet Our Middle School Teachers
I came to Marquette in January of 2022 and was baptized in the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil of 2022. I teach Middle School Language Arts and a number of other fun classes. Novels, stories, writing, and poetry are some of my absolute passions. I love getting kids engaged with these activities, especially middle schoolers. I also love performing arts and sing in the church choir!
Spiritual Formation
Head + Heart = Discipleship
When middle school students graduate from MCS,
we want them to be able to understand, explain and defend their faith:
-
5th grade: Old Testament with Sacred Art

6th grade: New Testament with Sacred Art
-
7th Grade: Theology of the Body
-
8th Grade: Church History
-
Memory Challenges each year: prayers, creed, books of the Bible, etc.
In addition, over the four years of middle school, we want students to have encounters with Christ that lead them to conversion and discipleship:
-
Attend Mass Monday and Wednesday mornings
-
Help lead at Mass as servers, lectors, sacristans
-
Weekly Adoration and monthly Reconciliation

Talks on Virtue and Saints
