“The staff made many changes to accommodate my daughter’s needs. As I make plans to transition her to college and employment, I am thankful for every person who has worked with my child”

“The greatest gift my classmates and I received was help and encouragement from Ms. Campbell and South High teachers and other staff. They contributed to us working hard, witnessing this day, and acquiring a high school diploma. We thank you. Our success and accomplishments are credited to you and your undying support.”
– Iesha Lamkin, St. Louis Learning Center South High (excerpt from her graduation speech)
“I am grateful for the opportunity to attend South High as well as the opportunity to speak to all of you. I am proud of us all for taking advantage of our second chance. Despite some of the “not so smart choices” many of us have made in the past, we have all made the first of many smart decisions. The decision to stay in school against all odds, and against people who said we were unworthy or unfit for an education.”
– Dominick Thomas, St. Louis Learning Center South High (excerpt from his graduation speech)
