La Crosse Aquinas Catholic Schools or ACS is a school district in La Crosse, Wisconsin and Onalaska, Wisconsin operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of La Crosse.
[1] Previously known as Coulee Catholic Schools, the district changed its name in 2009 to Aquinas Catholic Schools.
[2] In 1857, the first Catholic school opened in the Coulee Region.
Since that time, as parishes were built, so were the schools, in some cases even before the Church.
Area schools unified in 2000 under the name Coulee Catholic Schools to offer equal opportunities to all schools, standardized curriculum, and improve operational efficiency.
