General Information About Loyola Academy


The Loyola Alternative High School serves one hundred at risk youth in grades 9 through 12. Parents of these students are also beneficiaries of other educational and social services offered by the Council. This high school is a public entity providing at risk youth the opportunity to obtain a high school diploma and to prepare for college. Loyola Academy is under contract with the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). It was selected by the National Council of La Raza to receive funds from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to convert to a model known as early college high school. The school has a five-year Memorandum of Understanding with the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) that will allow students to take courses for college credit starting in the 11th grade. To better support students and their families, Loyola Academy partners with UW-Milwaukee, Marquette University, Alverno College, the Urban Ecology Center, and several community-based organizations.

Final Meeting at Loyola Academy

Today was our final meeting with the Loyola students.
We got a chance to talk more about our final group project, and some of us talked about their individual project. We also shared our photobucket.com links with Mr.Gonzales and his students, in order for them to be able to create slide shows using our images.
I arrived at Loyola Academy an hour before the sixth hour class, because I wanted to meet more people at Loyola Academy for my individual project.I was able to take more pictures and videos, and collect some useful information for my project. I met with the special education teacher at Loyola Academy, and interviewed her.I also met with Ms.Gonzalez (the SALSA club coordinator) for a second time to get more photos and videos from her.
