On Earth, we are simply pilgrims on a journey, a journey to experience the heights of relationship with God and the fullness of life.
All teens in grades nine through twelve are invited to live an adventurous life, a courageous life—the Christian life. L’alto: High School provides a powerful experience of Christian community through shared life, prayer, formation, and mission. Inspired by Acts 2:42, the four pillars of Dominican life, and the magnanimous life of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, L'alto: High School cultivates time and space for teens to become who God has created them to be and to set the world on fire for love of Christ.

L’alto: High School Overview
Our L’alto: High School program is for ninth through twelfth graders from all walks of life. We gather for weekly meetings (generally on Sundays from 7 to 9 p.m.) and host periodic social events marked by Christ-centered community, prayer, and purpose. There is no cost to attend the weekly meetings, however, there is a cost for retreats and additional outings. (Costs vary based on the venue and activity and may require advance registration.)
