History
The Sisters of Saint Agnes came to the site of the school in 1901 to open a sanitarium after money was donated by local businessman Henry Boyle. The first building built on the site, Boyle Hall, was named in his honor. Constructed in 1901, it was torn down in 2005 because of structural problems, after having sat vacant for nearly 25 years. This building and St. Agnes Hall, located to the left of Boyle Hall, were used as a sanitarium until 1909 when the site was changed into a boarding school for girls. The school held its first graduation in 1911. Though run by the Sisters of St. Agnes, it became affiliated with The Catholic University of America in 1915 and then became known as St. Mary's Springs Academy. The main building, now known as the Administration Building, was constructed in 1928, but has been unused since 2000 because of small class sizes and asbestos found in the building. It was tore down in 2015 to make room for a new building. In 1939, St. Mary's Springs Academy revised its mission and opened its doors to young men.
In 1970, the school's name was changed to St. Mary's Springs High School after receiving sponsorship from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The current academic building was also built about this time.
In 2008, St. Mary's Springs High School was merged with FACES (Fond du Lac Area Catholic Education System) to form a K-12 system. FACES consisted of two campuses, St. Joseph's Primary School and St. Mary's Middle School. The three campuses now operate under the name of St. Mary's Springs Academy.
