Next Stop: High School
With a St. Michael's education, our eighth graders are very fortunate to have lots of wonderful options for high school.
As well-prepared graduates, our students attend top area high schools and specialty centers and are consistently praised by school guidance counselors and admissions directors for their superior academic achievement, interpersonal skills, and enthusiasm for learning.
This week, St. Michael's was pleased to welcome leadership from 15 independent high schools, as well as some St M alumni, to our annual High School Planning program.
