More than 1.3 million students have experienced STLCC as a launchpad to new and better careers, four-year degrees and richer lives. As they pursue their own potential, our students have empowered their communities and strengthened our city.

“ At the end of the day, what makes me feel like I really made a difference is when my patients tell me ‘Thank you for everything you do.’ When I hear that from my patients, it reassures me that

this was the path that I was destined to be on. I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to go through and complete the Community Health Worker program.

With a stunning 53-7 season in 2022-23, the Archers won the Region XVI Tournament, only to be eliminated at the district tournament.

We were all really determined from the beginning, it was the hard work, confidence and dedication we all had toward the sport that helped us to get to the tournament.
