Welcome to Our Lady of Guadalupe's Graduate Support!
By way of introduction: Our Lady of Guadalupe Middle School puts the expertise of its well-educated staff and supporters as well as its connections to quality secondary and higher education at the service of our students and their families.
The gifts and talents discovered during the middle school years deserve to be developed in the best possible educational environments. Students have the potential make positive contributions to society as educated, informed adults. Further, they bring the unique insights and experiences of their racial or ethnic heritage to the educational environment and to their professional careers.

OLG Graduate Support Program
Preparing for high school and higher education begins the first day of school for new OLG students and continues throughout their time at Our Lady of Guadalupe Middle School. The entire OLG learning community is involved in this process.
OLG Graduate Support:
The OLG Graduate Support Program works with 8th graders and serves as a source of academic help and guidance for OLG graduates in high school and beyond. The goals are personal growth, preparation for life-long learning and integration of education, values, and spirituality.
OLG Grade 8:
Students in the 8th grade participate in a “Preparing for High School Class.” This class discusses good study techniques; it develops skills in research, note taking and time management; it promotes higher level thinking skills. To ensure readiness for high school entrance and placement examinations, special emphasis is given to standardized testing skills. (Significantly, this year’s test scores are much higher than past years!) Graduate Support also works closely with each 8th grader and her parents in their selection of a quality high school and the search for scholarships and tuition assistance.
OLG Graduates
Once OLG graduates enter high school, academic resources, tutoring, and support is provided through the efforts of the Graduate Support Program. Parental authorization is given to the Graduate Support coordinator to obtain student progress reports and grades, meet with counselors, teachers, and administration, and offer personal and academic guidance to graduates.
The Graduate Support Coordinator visits the homes of graduates for meetings with parents and graduates. Also, Graduates are invited to come to the OLG Graduate Center after school and one Saturday a month. At Our Lady of Guadalupe School, two rooms are designated as the Graduate Support Center Areas. One room is available for relaxation, graduate interactions, and healthy refreshments. The second is equipped with a learning materials, study and tutoring work areas, top of the line computer technology, and Internet access. Graduate Support Coordinator visits the homes of graduates for meetings with parents and graduates.
