University of Notre Dame - Latino Enrollment Institute

The Church in America now faces an unprecedented opportunity to empower the growing Latino population with quality education. Latinos who attend Catholic schools are 42% more likely to graduate high school and two and a half times more likely to graduate from college. At the same time, Latinos— who comprise two-thirds of the practicing Catholics under the age of 35 in the United States—are under-represented in these institutions, as only 4% of school-aged Latino children attend Catholic schools.   

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School is a proud member of the University of Notre Dame's Latino Enrollment Institute (LEI) - a strategic partnership designed to identify and assist schools with outreach, welcome, and support of Latino families so that every child may attain the benefits of a Catholic school advantage. 

Through continuous professional development, mentoring, and participation in the LEI Professional Learning Community, Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School is commited to opening the doors of welcome to families of all backgrounds, race, ethnicities, and religions to spread the Good News of our faith through the gift of Catholic education.
