Returning Home to a Catholic School

In 1994, Nancy and Rob Kerr moved from Chicago to Nancy's hometown of Springfield because they knew it was a good place to raise a family. When it came time to decide on a school for their children, they also wanted a place that felt like home.

"Before our first child was even school aged, we knew

Back: Mitch (8th grade) Sam (4th grade)
          Colin (6th grade)
that we would be sending him to one of Springfield's Catholic schools due to the outstanding reputation that they all share in our community," Nancy said.

Nancy is a graduate of the Springfield Catholic School system. Today, all five of the Kerr kids attend St. Agnes School. Nancy is impressed with the "rigorous academics and challenging extracurricular activities," but her children are growing in other ways as well.

"The daily focus on their faith in every class is something we cherish dearly. Not only are our children held to high standards of learning, they are also held to high standards of ethical behavior."

The Kerrs have never questioned their decision to educate their children at one of Springfield's Catholic schools. Having their children in an environment led by caring teachers and filled with loving families continues to be a rewarding investment.
