Holy Savior Catholic Academy (Wichita)

The school opened in 1948. Holy Savior school at one time served a student population of 454 white, middle class, Catholic children in post war Wichita. Originally white and middleclass, the neighborhood soon became more and more diverse. Throughout its history the school has welcomed children of all ethnic backgrounds and faiths. Presently 20% of our students are Catholic. To this end, our goal is to continue to evangelize in the northeast community of Wichita and beyond. Some of our staff, students, and families are in the inquiry stage of becoming Catholic.

Graduates (Catholic and non-Catholic) go on to Kapaun Mt Carmel and other area high schools. We number college graduates and professionals among our alumni. Many attribute their success to the foundation they received at Holy Savior.

HSCA is a community school in more ways than one. Our very existence has depended upon the generous support of the Catholic Community at large. It is a source of pride and encouragement that the whole Church recognizes and supports Holy Savior’s outreach and service to the predominately African American Community of northeast Wichita.

your support has helped us to realize our dream to have a first class facility located in the heart of the inner city that will provide a quality, value based, and culturally sensitive education for the mainly African American children living in the area. Presently, children whose parents are not members of Holy Savior parish (more than 70%) are on scholarship or must pay tuition for their children to attend HSCA. Because of the efforts of parishioners and generous donors, our tuition remains affordable to make Catholic education a possibility for all families to attend HSCA.
