LEAP High School

Students and families - We can't wait to see you at Open House tonight!

LEAP High School is proud to announce that Sarita Toledo received a full four-year scholarship to Denison University through the @QuestBridge National College Match. Congratulations!

LEAP students learned you can butter more than just bread at the Construct Tomorrow event held in Minneapolis yesterday. Construct Tomorrow features hands-on learning activities that showcases career opportunities in the construction and building trades industries.

A tremendous thank-you to everyone who spoke from their hearts on behalf of our community learners at LEAP! We are humbled by your words and proud to continue our work to make all of St. Paul the best it can be!

Come to LEAP on Saturday, Dec 4, for a free health clinic and legal advice event from 9am-1pm. Doctors and lawyers from the U of MN will be here to help you with health concerns or answer legal questions. Get a COVID vaccination or booster shot, and enjoy music and snacks.

Learning about the positive impact of veggies on our body's physiology is way cooler when you can harvest a variety of vegetables from our school garden, planted by students last spring, to try later at home.

It was absolutely fantabulous to see students today! Welcome back everyone! So excited for our learning journey to be underway!

Immigrants strengthen our communities. It’s time for Congress to work together on a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers. See my letter below.

I can't stop smiling. The @leap_high graduation this evening was simply amazing. The inspiring stories and heartfelt words from students and staff, greetings in multiple languages, and families beaming with pride was a joy to witness. Congratulations and best wishes, with love ❤️

Congrats to all our 2021 graduates! It was an honor to be at your commencement last night to hear your words of wisdom and encouragement and to share in your moment of triumph. You are amazing humans and we wish you all the best!

Thanks to everyone who came to our garden open house today to see the work students have put into planning, researching, studying, and installing our new vegi garden spaces. Student hosts also prepared an interactive scavenger hunt in our rain garden. It was a beauty day!

Another COVID vaccine opportunity for those 12 years old and up. This one is May 25. See flyer for details.

Vaccine clinic for people 12 and up - this Sunday! See flyer for more details.

Gardens are growing at LEAP! Students spent time yesterday planting vegetables in their new garden beds- jelly melon, Armenian cucumber, tomatoes , peppers and okra, to name a few😋. @leap_high @SPPS_News #growourown #grow #schoolgardens #plantingday #F2S #USDA

LEAP's new grant funded garden beds are here! Containers arrived last week and science students made quick work of adding soil and mulch to the beds. Students have been prepping by learning about pH levels, calculating volume, graphing soil temp, and starting seeds in class.

Wing shared stories about his work and challenged students to share their thoughts to questions like, “What are you, how do you think about your identity, where is home to you?” Amazing experience.

So honored to have photographer Wing Young Huie join students and staff for a deep and illuminating conversation about his life and work as an artist.

Thanks to everyone who helped make our vaccine clinic a success yesterday! We were happy to have over 100 students and their family members get vaccinated by the awesome crew from the Minnesota Department of Health.

Today, LEAP High School is hosting a vaccination clinic for students and families. Extra vaccines are available until 4:30 on a first come first served basis for neighbors and community members. Registration can be done on site and health insurance is not required.

Never too old or too young to help our environment. In honor of Earth Day today, various students and staff at LEAP participated in outdoor classes, while others pitched in to help clean-up our school grounds and neighborhood.
