Saint Martin de Porres High School is an urban Catholic college-preparatory high school dedicated to working exclusively with students of modest means.  Our program includes an innovative Work-Study component:  we partner with local corporations who recognize the importance of investing in young people to develop habits of mind and spirit that will lead them to college and career success.  Eighty percent of our students will be the first in their extended families to attend college.  Saint Martin was founded in 2004 and is chartered by the state of Ohio and accredited through the Ohio Catholic Schools Accrediting Association. Our mission is to transform urban Cleveland one student at a time; we are committed to the values of work, study, service, leadership and prayer. We are a member of the Cristo Rey Network of schools founded in 2001.
