San Miguel High School

San Miguel High School is a private Catholic, Lasallian, college and career prep school located on the south side of Tucson. San Miguel is a member of the Cristo Rey Network, a thriving association of 35 high schools across the country that utilize an innovative work-study program to provide affordable, Catholic education to more than 12,012 students nationwide. San Miguel exclusively serves families with limited financial resources. Every one of the 360 plus students works five full days per month at more than 90 companies in Tucson to pay for most of the cost of their education and to gain professional experience. By working, students learn about the corporate world, connect academic coursework to the work they do at their corporate placements, and gain skills that will serve them beyond high school. To date, San Miguel High School has maintained a 97% graduation rate, and 80% of students are the first in their families to go to college.
