Saint Martin de Porres Students Gather in New Cafeteria of $21 Million School
Breakfast is served as new facility transition begins
Saint Martin de Porres High School is proud to announce that the transition to our new state of the art school building will begin with breakfast for the students this Tuesday morning, March 6. Saint Martin's new facility is the first school built in the St. Clair-Superior area in over a century, and although classes will begin for our student body on April 9, utilization of the new $21 million facility will start now. Students will feast on Pancakes, Eggs and Sausage, all made from scratch by Chef Kendra Eustache, as breakfast and lunch will now be served in the school’s new cafeteria.
Please join us for this wonderful photo opportunity as our students gather to eat, get ready for their school day, and venture out to their Corporate Work Study jobs. If requested, we will be happy to make students and staff available for interviews on the new school building.
