We’ve transformed our campus over the past five years, but the best is yet to come. Today, we’re thrilled to share the proposed renderings for a new 39,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art multipurpose fieldhouse at St. Laurence.

St. Laurence.

Seriously, let’s have an honest conversation about St. Laurence in Burbank.

Is there another high school that has revived its overall school and athletic brand more than St. Laurence since 2000?

The brand was on life support. You know it was, I know it was and alums knew it was.

What kid was begging to go to St. Laurence 10-20 years ago to play sports? Be honest.

Today: Wow.

Baseball, softball, basketball, football, soccer, track and so on.

Since 2018, the strategic approach and branding have led to significant growth, facility upgrades and countless achievements - on and off the courts and fields.

And it’s not just sports.

There is a school pride in and around this brand that you see in the community and at events - from kids, parents and employees.

Alums are proud again to say they went to St. Laurence.

This is a great case study to look at. #IHSA

[Michael O'Brien @michaelsobrien]

St. Laurence: Talented with good size and depth. Should develop into a contender. Markese Peoples, Reggie Stevens, Logan Brown, Noah Corro and Jeremiah Toney are the top returners. Jacob Johnson, a 6-6 senior, is a major addition. Watch freshmen Lawrence Burnett and Evan Lemons.

[Viking Athletics @STL_Athletics]

Another Vikings TD! 35-19 and that’ll do it! 40 seconds to go.
5-2 heading into week 8!
