Roses in December: Hearing the Voices of Latino Youth About Catholic Schools
Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this action research was to investigate the perceptions and expectations of Latino youth about Catholic schools in order to increase Latino students' interest, involvement and ownership of our Catholic schools.
Research Questions:
What perceptions do Latino students in our schools have about their Catholic high schools? What perceptions do Latino students who are currently attending public schools have of our two local Catholic high schools? What academic, social or other expectations does a Latino student have before attending a Catholic high school? What do Latino students currently attending our Catholic schools perceive to be our strengths and weaknesses in serving their population?
