Giving Hope to America’s
Indian Children
St. Labre Indian School provides hope for a brighter and better future to nearly 750 Indian children in Southeastern Montana. Thanks to generous friends, these boys and girls can count on a first-class education that will help lift them out of poverty.
KEEPING THE MIRACLE ALIVE
The poverty rate in the areas served by St. Labre is nearly double that of the national average. In these low-income communities, alcoholism, crime, drug abuse and more compound the devastating effects of poverty.
We know that the only way out of poverty is through an education that not only prepares our Northern Cheyenne and Crow children for life, but also has a positive impact on the areasand communities we serve.
At St. Labre, each day ten buses on three campuses run in every direction logging some 4,000 miles per week; over 1,500 hot meals are served each day in our three cafeterias; classrooms buzz with active learning; sports teams practice after school; and the list goes on and on. All this and more is possible because friends like you care so much.
Students who graduate from St. Labre’s high school are eligible for scholarship funding to attend the post-secondary educational program of their choice. The personal and economic impact of their education far exceeds the national average and continues to bring hope to the children from the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Indian Reservations.

and many others too numerous
to mention…
St. Labre was founded on the principle that education is very much a form of social justice. While no one individual can change history, together we can give Native American children a greater chance at a brighter, better future through education. Serving our community is a way St. Labre spreads its “miracle” of hope beyond our classrooms.
