School Profile: St. Mike's at a glance
St. Michael's High School opened in the fall of 1859 under
the direction of the Christian Brothers in buildings adjacent to the San
Miguel Mission. In December 1967, St. Mike's relocated to its present location
on Siringo Road. The school became co-educational in 1968 following the
closure of the all-girls Catholic School, the Loretto Academy. St. Mike's
is part of a worldwide network of Christian Brothers schools that base
education on the principles of our founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle:
to make a difference in each student's life and cooperate with one another
in a spirit of trust and caring and to provide an education that is practical,
accessible to all, and comprehensive. Accreditations/Affiliations: North Central Accreditation State of New Mexico Accreditation Member of
New Mexico Association of Non Public Schools Current Student Body: 840 students in grades 7-12 Faculty: St. Mike's faculty are among the finest in the state. It is comprised
of dedicated men and women whose mission it is to education the whole student—spiritually,
academically and socially. We have a faculty of 64. Of these members, more
than 25 hold advanced degrees. The average class size is 24 allowing time
for meaningful exchanges between faculty and students and an optimum learning
environment. The teacher to student ratio in Honors and AP classes is usually
smaller. Religious Formation: The spiritual life of St. Mike's students is developed through our religious
education classes and school-wide liturgies and prayer services. Our retreat
program provides meaningful experiences each year at each class level.
Students also have the opportunity to further become involved as a faith
community through our Campus Ministry program, Lasallian Youth, Fellowship
of Christian Athletes and music ministry. St. Mike's is also committed
to numerous community service projects throughout the year. Student Life: At St. Mike's, students can choose from an exceptional range of extracurricular

Association (NMAA) and Class 2 AAA. We enjoy a long-standing tradition
of excellence in athletic competition and offer 13 sports, a total of 32
teams, throughout the year at various levels of competition. Through our
activities program students learn the values of leadership, cooperation,
self-discipline, respect, sportsmanship and community — skills
that will carry them through life beyond St. Mike's. Standard Dress: A student's general appearance reflects his/her attitude toward him/herself and to the school.
