Education
[edit]The public school district is the Carroll Community School District, which operates schools in Carroll.[11] The area Catholic school is the Kuemper Catholic School System, which is also in Carroll.[12]
Previously Breda had its own Catholic schools, with the first such institution opening in 1884.[13] St. Bernard Grade School opened in 1903, and St. Bernard High School opened in the St. Bernard building in 1927. The high school received its own building in 1951.[12] St. Bernard High consolidated into Kuemper Catholic High in 1979.[13] St. Bernard Elementary occupied the former high school building while the former elementary building closed that year;[12] that building was demolished in 1980, and by 2014 two houses had been built in its place.[13] Christ the King School formed in 1983 as a merger of St. Bernard along with Mount Carmel, Lidderdale and Maple River Catholic schools.[12] The Christ the King School, along with the Holy Trinity Catholic grade school, consolidated into Kuemper Catholic System in 2003.[13]
St. Bernard Church became the owner of the former St. Bernard High/new St. Bernard Grade School/Christ the King School.[13] The estate of Mary Nieland funded a renovation of the former cafeteria.[12] This became the Mary Nieland Center, a community center, and as of 2014 other sections of the former school are used for other community and recreation functions.[13]
