Eighth graders attending St. Louis’
ACCESS Academies have set a high school acceptance record. Fifty-seven of the 61 eighth graders graduating from Central Catholic Academy, Holy Trinity Academy, Academy at King of Glory Lutheran School and St. Cecilia Academy were accepted to attend college preparatory high schools in
fall 2008.


“We are pleased to see our ACCESS
student acceptances into the college prep
high schools rise 10 percent from last
year,” said Carolyn Dubuque, director of
mission effectiveness for ACCESS.

“While we delight in our students’ advancement to high school, it is especially gratifying to see so many individuals ready to take on the even greater challenge offered by private and college preparatory institutions.”
