Marquette ECDC was established in 1978 as a part-time program to serve the families of Christ the King. It began in Fletcher Hall, which stood on the current school field. In 1979 the program was moved across the street into a small building with three classrooms. Over the next 29 years, ECDC continued to grow and eventually opened its doors full time to meet the changing needs of the community. In 2008 the current ECDC building was completed and opened. Today ECDC holds 5 classrooms for children ranging in age from three to five years old. It employs 17 staff members and has an enrollment of nearly 100 students.
The purpose of Marquette Catholic School is to use our commitment to faith and pursuit of academic excellence to evangelize, educate and form students as disciples who enthusiastically bring Christ to their families, fellow parishioners, and the larger community while preparing for success in their academic and future professional lives.
Marquette Catholic School exists as a partnership between the parish and the community to educate the whole student through a Catholic curriculum and to model a faith-based life through the values of respect, hospitality, faithfulness, and compassion.
