Petition Controversy

On June 15, 2020, several alumni of St. Louis Catholic High School published a petition calling upon administration and the Catholic Diocese to update all of the district’s curriculum to be more inclusive and to address racial history and bias in light of the anti-racism protests that are sweeping the nation. The petition also calls for more opportunities for low-income students to attend St. Louis. In response, St. Louis Catholic released a brief statement. [2]
