By providing a quality education, Marian Middle School is helping to stabilize the lives of urban adolescent girls and to shepherd them on through high school and college. It's not an easy task, considering that students pay $400 annual tuition, and the cost of educating each of them is about $12,000 per academic year. In addition, the Catholic school for fifth- through eight-graders in South St. Louis has a goal of funding 50 percent of the high school tuition costs of its graduates.
