Over 95% of these graduates are going on to two and four year colleges. For over 150 years, Catholic schools have been educating students in L.A. who go on to become leaders of integrity and competence. This is done without tax-payers funding. Catholic schools deserve recognition for their past an continued contributions in educating civic, business and church leaders, teachers and many other professions that serve the Los Angeles community.
