The Kuemper Catholic School System is celebrating 150 years of Catholic education in the Carroll area with a weekend of events. Festivities kick off this Friday with the Kuemper homecoming parade at 2:15 p.m., followed by a social at the Kuemper Fieldhouse after the football game, featuring alumni family histories, school memorabilia, and more. The celebration continues into Saturday with a fun run from Maple River to Carroll along the Sauk Rail Trail and a family picnic at Rolling Hills Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kuemper closes the weekend’s activities on Sunday with a special bus tour of the original Catholic schools that established the area’s educational tradition, provided by Windstar Lines.
