Pacelli High School is a private secondary school located on the north side of Stevens Point, Wisconsin in the Diocese of La Crosse. Pacelli High School--named in honor of Pope Pius XII-- was founded in 1955 by Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, which has operated schools, colleges and universities in 81 countries for over 300 years. Originally an all-boys high school, Pacelli merged with the all-girls Maria High School in the early 1970s to create a co-ed, Catholic high school offering a rigorous college-prep curriculum. Pacelli became part of the Stevens Point Area Catholic Schools when consolidation of all the Catholic schools took place in 1986. (For more on the history of the school, see The History of Pacelli High School.)

Pacelli golf has held the CWC confrence chamionship for five years running. In the past three years, they have won three sectional championships and two regional championships. Each of the past three years the team has appeared at the state meet, placing 6th, 4th, and 3rd, respectively. Brian Winquist is the architect of this amazing dynasty. Lead by seniors Chris Loeffler(3 years all-conference) and Grant Shafranski(2 years all-conference), the team will look to capture it's sixth conference championship in a row along with a seemingly illusive state championship.
