St. Laurence Gauging Girls' Interest In Transferring To School

BURBANK, IL -- St. Laurence High School is gauging interest from families who have daughters that will be sophomores during the 2018-2019 school year for potential admission into the school. The decision comes after after receiving interest from parents with daughters that are part of the graduating Class of 2021 who want to transfer to St. Laurence. The boys’ Catholic high school began accepting girls this year after the closing of Queen of Peace High School.

Families can fill out an interest form on the school’s website. Upon filling out the form, families will be contacted by St. Laurence staff regarding next steps. St. Laurence will also be holding a special information night on Thursday, Feb. 22 at 7 pm to share details about the transfer process, the coed transition and background on the school. Families will be expected to submit unofficial transcripts and a registration fee and partial tuition payment no later than Friday, March 2. Based on the number of families who apply and qualify, a decision will be made the week of March 12. If the school decides not to accept the class, the fee will be refunded. The fee will be non-refundable after the date of announcement.

St. Laurence opened its doors to female students for the first time in the 2017-18 school year. The school originally only accepted girls in the sophomore through senior classes, but has received several inquiries about transfer students in the Class of 2021 in the past year. St. Laurence High School is located at 5556 W 77th St., Burbank.

Families with questions about St. Laurence or about the transfer process can contact director of admissions Joe Spano at jspano@stlaurence.com or (708) 458-6900, ext. 252.
