The outstanding students are a credit to themselves, to their parents and family, and to the excellent teachers and faculty who gave them the tools to be the best they could be.
The message is that no matter what direction life takes you; Saint Louis gives you the tools to be somebody. Lots of leaders, past and present certainly more for the future, are needed. Please support your Alma Mater and Alumni Association to help carry on the “Pride and Tradition” of the Saint Louis Man!
