Why did the De La Salle Christian Brothers and St. John’s College High School found the San Miguel School of Washington?
Research shows that Latino males are the most educationally at-risk population in the United States. Of all demographic groups, they are the most likely to drop out and the least likely to earn a college diploma. What’s more, boys tend to lag behind girls on the middle school level. By offering an intensive program in the middle school grades, we can equip students to achieve in high school and beyond. Without San Miguel, such success would be a long shot.
