In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of St. Labre High School graduates attending graduate school and earning graduate degrees. This academic year, St. Labre alums earned six graduate degrees, and currently an additional eleven St. Labre alums are enrolled in graduate degree programs. This development has been on a steady rise, and we are very excited about this trend. It means that our high school graduates are prepared for the intense academic rigor and research required of graduate programs at universities across the United States. To put this development into perspective, just ten years ago, only five St. Labre alums were enrolled in graduate programs. The St. Labre Mentoring Program continues to meet the needs of our students attending graduate school and to support their success. We are very proud of our students and their academic success!
