Accreditation

Diocesan Policy #2050 states that all schools of the Diocese of Green Bay be accredited by  the Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent Schools Accreditation (WRISA) with the Wisconsin Catholic Schools  Accreditation (WCSA) instrument or Cognia (formerly AdvancED) with the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools.

Holy Family Catholic School has been accredited by Cognia (formerly North Central Association Commisssion (NCA)) since 2003. 

For more than 125 years, schools have been inviting Cognia and our legacy agencies, NCA CASI, NWAC, and SACS CASI, into their classrooms. Why? Because we go beyond evaluating school quality. We provide trusted expertise and actionable ideas that move the needle on school quality.

Accreditation is the launchpad for school improvement. Based on rigorous research-based standards and evidence-based criteria, the process probes the whole institution—from policies to learning conditions and cultural context—to determine how well the parts work together to meet the needs of every learner.

Accreditation isn’t about passing a one-time inspection—it helps education providers meet improvement goals and sustain commitments to better learner outcomes.
