A representative from the Washington University visited our school to provide information about the College Prep Program to a group of students.

The CPP is a no-cost, four-year commitment which includes an immersive learning experience, customized support, Summer Academy, and year-round academic and enrichment experiences.

CPP focuses on preparing first-generation college students for high school graduation, college attainment, and beyond. Scholars engage in college preparation workshops and activities centered on personal and professional development and earn college credits.

Illness and Covid Guidelines

Please keep your child home and call the school nurse if they are ill with fever, frequent cough, vomiting, multiple episodes of diarrhea, or multiple covid symptoms. As a reminder, students should be fever, vomit, and diarrhea free without medication for 24-hours before returning to the school building.

We continue to follow STL City Department of Health and CDC Covid guidelines that state a person should stay home for 5 days after their first day of symptoms. If symptoms have improved, a person can return to school on day 6 but must wear a mask through 10 days after their first day of symptoms.

If you need a Covid test kit for home, contact the school nurse who can provide home test kits. You can also once again order tests at the website

Check out the exciting new addition that was recently made available on our local online website!! We now have zip-up jackets for sale! Please make sure to order the colors displayed in the high school section only (royal blue and heather grey).

Students are only allowed to wear these spirit wear on Fridays or dress down days.
