St. Mary's Springs Academy (SMSA, formerly St. Mary's Springs High School) is a Catholic, private, coeducational system serving grades 3-year-old Preschool through High School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and is associated with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. It was founded by the Sisters of Saint Agnes in 1909. History The Sisters of Saint Agnes came to the site of the school in 1901 to open a sanitarium after money was donated by local businessman Henry Boyle. The first building built on the site in 1901, Boyle Hall, was named in his honor. This building and St. Agnes Hall, located immediately to the north of Boyle Hall, were used as a sanitarium until 1909 when the site was changed into a boarding school for girls. The school held its first graduation in 1911. Though run by the Sisters of St. Agnes, it became affiliated with The Catholic University of America in 1915 and then became known as St. Mary's Springs Academy. In 1928, a large school building was constructed to the north of Boyle Hall. In 1939, St. Mary's Springs Academy revised its mission and opened its doors to young men as well as young women. In 1956, boarding facilities were discontinued. With increasing enrollment during the 1950s and 1960s, a need arose for another building. Telethons were held to raise money for the construction. In 1970, the school's name was changed to St. Mary's Springs High School after becoming jointly sponsored by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Agnes. A new academic building was built that year at the north end of the campus, immediately north of the main building. Both buildings held classes until the main building became known as the Administration Building due to dwindling class sizes. It continued to house the offices, cafeteria, and an auditorium. Around 2001, the Administration Building was permanently closed due to asbestos being found in the building. In 2005, Boyle Hall, which had sat vacant for nearly 25 years, was torn down due to structural problems. The old administration building sat vacant until it was razed in 2015 to make way for a proposed preK-12 academic complex. In 2008, St. Mary's Springs High School was merged with FACES (Fond du Lac Area Catholic Education System) to form a K-12 system. FACES consisted of two campuses, St. Joseph's Primary School and St. Mary's Middle School. The three
