Advisory Program
The St. Vincent High School Advisory Program is a support system for students, in which advisers support the academic, social, and emotional growth of each advisee. For more information click the link below.
Advisory Program
A+ Scholarship Program
Missouri Legislature passed that private/parochial schools may now participate in the A+ Scholarship Program. A student that meets the criteria may have their college tuition paid for toward a junior college or technical/trade school. The law goes into effect on August 28, 2016. Our students may not start participating until we become a ‘Designated School.” We will receive information in late September (from DESE and MDHE) on the process of becoming a Designated School. We will keep you informed of the process and exactly when our students may start their tutoring hours. Click the link for more information on A+ Program

Playing Sports in College
The NCAA Eligibility Center is the organization within the NCAA that determines the academic eligibility and amateur status for all NCAA DI and DII athletes. It does this by reviewing the student-athlete's academic record, SAT® or ACT scores, and amateur status to ensure conformity with NCAA rules. The NCAA recommends that student-athletes register at the beginning of their junior year in high school, but many students register after their junior year. There is no registration deadline, but students must be cleared by the Eligibility Center before they receive athletic scholarships or compete at a Division I or II institution. There are similar organizations for NAIA and NJCAA. Choose the appropriate site below to register.
