LEARN what MATTERS

ACADEMICS

Edgewood’s caring and supportive faculty members have the time to work with individual students on building a foundation in the basics that allows students to achieve their full potential.

COLLEGE PREP

Edgewood’s graduates are ready to excel, with approximately 97% of them directly entering higher education. Recent graduating classes have been offered more than $10 million in collegiate scholarships. About half of Edgewood graduates attend Top 100 US colleges and universities, and nearly 1 in 3 enroll at UW-Madison.

STUDENT SUPPORT

Edgewood High School’s counselor-to-student ratio is 1:138. The American School Counseling Association’s “gold standard” recommendation is 1:250, and the Wisconsin counselor-to-student ratio is 1:459. Our counselors prioritize individual relationships and have multiple individual meetings with students and families per year in order to best serve and support their specific needs related to academic, personal, socioemotional, and vocational domains. Counselors take the time to build relationships with each student, providing the resources they need to be successful in high school and beyond.

DIVERSITY

Edgewood families hail from neighborhoods throughout Dane County and from more than 70 surrounding middle schools. We have a diverse and inclusive student body that respects our various identities and experiences. More than 40% of our students receive financial assistance up to 55% of tuition costs.

What GIVES US the EDGE

CATHOLIC LIFE

Edgewood provides a faith-based environment and we take pride in fostering personal and spiritual growth. We have a religiously diverse student body, and courses reach out to all faith backgrounds. We offer monthly all-school liturgies and prayer services as well as optional weekly morning Mass.

SERVICE

An Edgewood’s education involves dedication to service grounded in the values — Dominican in root, universal in relevance — of Truth, Compassion, Justice, Community and Partnership. Every student fulfills 100 hours of volunteer service in their four years at Edgewood, and many complete twice that amount. Graduating classes typically leave a legacy of more than 25,000 combined student service hours!

ATHLETICS

75% of EHS students are in athletics or e-sports, and 60% are involved in three sports! At Edgewood, athletic teams are accessible and an easy way to make good friends. The strength of our Crusaders program is shown in a record that includes over 40 WIAA State Championships since 2000.

FINE ARTS

We are proud to offer our students a broad range of academic courses in music, visual arts and theater. Our McKinley Performing Arts Center provides an unparalleled experience for all students interested in music or the dramatic arts. Edgewood students have been awarded more than 75 Jerry Awards for high school musical theater.

FRESHMAN FUN!

Transitioning from middle to high school is both exciting and a bit challenging. Edgewood’s unique Freshman Interdisciplinary Team (FIT) Program allows students the opportunity to gain confidence in their academic skills, while also getting the opportunity to meet all of their fellow classmates. At EHS, Freshman year incorporates peer-to-peer learning, where our 9th graders work in small groups and learn the values of collaboration and shared goals. Our Freshman program provides the opportunity for our students to work alongside one another, create partnerships and make lifelong friends.

The PURSUIT of SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality is an important aspect of an Edgewood student’s journey and we take pride in fostering a connection with God and one’s faith. Campus ministers and religious studies faculty facilitate our spiritual activities and carry on our daily mission of unity within our school community. In addition to religious studies courses, we understand the importance of ministry programs and retreats that allow our school community to engage in non-academic, faith-based experiences. With these, we seek a deeper source of fulfillment and developed sense of purpose.

TEACHING APPROACH

EHS has a religiously diverse student body (about 60% Roman Catholic), so courses reach out to all students, teaching the Catholic tradition, examining other faith traditions, and discussing commonalities and differences.

PEER MINISTRY AND THE DOMINICAN PREACHING TEAM

Peer ministers help in the planning and leading of liturgies, prayer services, and retreats. Edgewood’s Student Dominican Preaching Team integrates the ministry and teachings of our founders into student life through service and leading prayer in partnership with Campus Ministry.

LITURGIES AND PRAYER SERVICES

We offer monthly prayer services and liturgies. Self-reflection and spiritual development are much more than academic and liturgical; they are life-long experiences one should foster and grow. All students are required to go on the retreat designated for their class each year. Retreats provide time for spiritual and emotional development and renewal.

for LIFE

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM

The EHS community service program helps students find active ways to live the Sinsinawa Dominican motto, “At the heart of ministry is relationship,” and to put into practice the values of Truth, Compassion, Justice, Community, and Partnership, which are the foundation of Edgewood’s mission and central to all the educational institutions the Congregation sponsors.

A COMMUNITY CONNECTED FOR LIFE

The EHS community embraces its students after graduation and beyond. Edgewood graduates are connected for life and have the unique opportunity to network with fellow EHS grads in the professional world. Edgewood Crusaders share the same school bond and hail from the same amazing community that is Edgewood High School. Whether it be local, national or international, our graduates can open professional doors with the help of the Edgewood community.

EDGEWOOD IN THE COMMUNITY AN ANNUAL SCHOOLWIDE DAY OF SERVICE

As an integral part of our homecoming activities, the entire student body, faculty and staff, and even some parents and alumni work at more than 50 sites in the Madison area for a full day of volunteer service. This special day provides over 3,000 hours of community service to parks, nursing homes, schools, hospitals, food banks, social service programs, and several non-profit agencies. At the conclusion of EIC, the students and staff return to campus to celebrate the day and reflect on our experiences together.

LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER

THE LRC PROVIDES ACADEMIC SUPPORT ACROSS THE CURRICULUM WITH THE GOAL OF ENSURING THAT STUDENTS REACH THEIR GREATEST SCHOLASTIC POTENTIAL.

The LRC serves approximately 20% of EHS students through a team of teachers who provide individualized attention and support. The LRC promotes student self-confidence and independent learning. LRC teachers encourage students to take personal ownership of their academic lives by teaching the skills needed to be better students, as well as encouraging the development of social skills with peers, teachers and administrators. Teachers in the LRC are able to focus on the whole student, developing personal connections beyond those typically found in the traditional classroom.

Students who take advantage of the LRC may have diagnosed learning differences, challenges like test anxiety or organizational struggles, problems in particular courses or trouble keeping up with content because of insufficient study skills or extended periods of classroom absence due to health issues or other time commitments.

Using background information supplied by parents and school counselors, LRC teachers identify individual areas that need attention and develop strategies to address those areas. In addition to receiving help with core material, students learn organizational and time management skills. The program provides other resources like audio books, website listings, computers and textbooks. The LRC offers alternative testing accommodations, including the use of a computer and extended time testing for enrolled students. The teachers problem-solve with the students as issues arise, providing feedback and communicating with faculty, counselors and parents via phone, email or PowerSchool.

There is a charge for LRC services. Financial assistance is available.

Activities as Part of the Educational Experience

Co-curricular activities are designed to provide opportunities for student growth, challenge, and achievement outside the classroom. They are an integral component of Edgewood’s educational program and include a variety of options to appeal to a wide range of interests. About 95% of Edgewood students join a team or club, belong to a society or council, perform in musical ensembles or play an onstage or backstage role in drama. By participating in co-curriculars, students have fun, make new friends, enjoy time with one another, develop and exercise collaborative and leadership skills, increase self-esteem and learn to appreciate the strengths and talents of others. Edgewood also encourages most co-curricular groups to engage in a service project.

Co-curriculars for Many Interests

Most co-curricular groups and activities at Edgewood have existed for a number of years. Students who want to form a new co-curricular club or activity are invited to do so by presenting a proposal to the associate principal six months in advance of the following academic year so it can be reviewed and implemented at the start of school. A faculty member (or several) must agree to serve as the moderator(s) for any student club or activity and some functions may require additional chaperones or security personnel. The school provides every club with a minimal budget to be spent in the best interest of the school.

Student Body Leadership

CLASS COUNCIL

Each of the four grade levels has a Class Council whose purpose is to unify the class, encourage all class members to become involved in class and school activities, lead the class in spirit and enthusiasm, sponsor service and other projects in which the class can participate and organize and support fund-raising projects.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

Composed of the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the four grade levels. The council helps coordinate Class Council events that involve all-school activities and service projects, as well as provides leadership training for students.

STUDENT SERVICES provided in SUPPORT of all students

STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT

In keeping with Edgewood’s mission to educate the whole student, the Student Services Department offers guidance in academic, personal, socioemotional, and vocational related areas based on each student’s uniqueness. All Edgewood High School counselors are licensed by the State of Wisconsin and hold master’s degrees and certification for counseling grades K-12.

Our unique Student Services model allows students to develop multiple individual relationships with counselors throughout their four years at Edgewood High School. Students are assigned to a school counselor who serves as a main resource for academic, personal, and socioemotional support and encouragement for the duration of their high school experience. All students also work closely with Edgewood’s Director of College and Career Counseling to create and implement individualized post-secondary plans. The associate principal, who is a part of the Student Services team, incorporates school counseling standards of practice in all areas of student life, ranging from extracurriculars, discipline, fine arts, and student leadership.

The Student Services Department directs a range of efforts toward fostering individual growth. With multiple personal connections within the Student Services Department, students have access to counselors who can assist with topics such as advising for course selection in preparation of post-secondary goals, leadership development, academic skill building, and mental health support. Counselors also facilitate action plans for students with special needs, including gifted and talented, learning disabilities, and emotional concerns. Counselors assist each student as he or she works toward achievement and fulfillment of his or her goals through one-on-one counseling, group offerings, and grade-specific communication.

Lance Johnson Memorial Award Program

Making an Edgewood education affordable to as many Madison area students as possible has long been a part of the Sinsinawa Dominican mission. Currently, tuition and fees (which include each student’s books and Chromebook) cover about 80% of the actual cost of educating a student. The remaining expenses are subsidized through a strong program of fundraising appeals and special events that involves participation by current families, alumni and parents of alumni.

In addition, Edgewood provides annual need-based financial assistance in the form of grants to help defray the full tuition cost. A variety of circumstances may exist, but because funds are limited, families who wish to qualify for tuition assistance apply using a standard form and an explanation of their own particular needs. Financial assistance may be granted for up to a maximum of 55% of tuition and standard fees. In 2022, Edgewood awarded grants, serving approximately 41% of the student body.

Merit-Based Awards

Edgewood’s financial assistance program is primarily a need-based one. However, there are several distinguished and highly competitive merit-based award programs designed to recognize students who have reached the highest levels of scholarship, leadership and service. Admitted students may apply in the spring of 8th grade for the Saint Catherine of Siena Tuition Grant, the Lance Johnson Memorial Award and the Trustee Academic Award Program (TAAP).

This award is a high honor and selection is competitive. Recipients must meet the following criteria to be selected for this award program: Students who have had a 3.75 G.P.A. or above throughout middle school and who have demonstrated leadership, volunteer service and extracurricular involvement. Academic achievement accounts for the greatest weight in scoring, but there must be a demonstrated financial need and the amount of consideration given to the cover letter, essay, resume and letter of recommendation is higher, although academic performance still has significant weight. Award amounts of $200-$1500 are determined by need and the number awarded (four or five in a year, depending on applications). Awards continue for four years if the student remains in good standing.

Saint Catherine of Siena Tuition Grant

This tuition grant, inspired by the life and teachings of St. Catherine of Siena, covers the full tuition cost at EHS continuing over four years (9-12 grades) to one incoming freshman every year with a racial-ethnic minority heritage and/or who arrived in the U.S. as a refugee or asylum seeker. Other eligibility requirements include being a resident of Dane County for at least three years, qualifying for financial aid based on the EHS Tuition Aid Data Services application, demonstrating high moral character consistent with the Sinsinawa Dominican values of truth, compassion, justice, community and partnership, demonstrating a high level of motivation and self-discipline, demonstrating above average academic achievement for three years prior to entering EHS as a freshman, and engages in volunteer or other activities to advance the Dominican values. Grade transcripts, two letters of recommendation, and a personal essay are part of the application process.

Trustee Academic Award Program

The Trustee Academic Award Program selects recipients from those students who have had a 3.75 G.P.A. or above throughout middle school and who have demonstrated leadership, volunteer service and extra-curricular involvement. Academic achievement accounts for the greatest weight in scoring. The TAAP is a high honor and selection is competitive. Five freshmen are selected by a scholarship panel and are awarded $1000 per year for four years. Students are eligible for annual award renewal as long as they maintain a 3.5 G.P.A. and are in good standing with the school.
