Mount Mary College

Mount Mary CollegeIn the latter part of the 19th century the School Sisters of Notre Dame established St. Mary's Institute in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. In 1913, this school was chartered as Saint Mary's College, a four-year, liberal arts school for Catholic women – the first in the state.

In 1929, the school opened its doors as Mount Mary College on the far west side of Milwaukee which was closer to the main population center of the state.

SSNDs have taught at Mount Mary from its beginnings in Prairie du Chien to the present day, and many graduates have gone on to become sisters. Others stay connected to the SSNDs through alumni associations and by simply maintaining contact with their former teachers.
