The Benedictine monastery in Atchison, Kansas, begun by Mother Evangelista Kremmeter and six other sisters, grew to establish many Catholic schools in the midwest. At Mount St. Scholastica Academy and College, thousands of young women received the education, preparation and training for their future lives.

Many pupils at the Academy and College in Atchison entered the novitiate and became Benedictine sisters in the schools operated by the sisters. Some of these sisters were among the first women to receive master's degrees and doctorates in the United States. Sister Helen Sullivan, for example, (a native of Effingham, Kansas, in Atchison County, Kansas) was honored at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., for having obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree in mathematics before 1940.

The listing of the sisters' writings attests to the educational achievements of the Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison, Kansas. Copies of some of these writings are in the archives at Mount St. Scholastica.
