Leadership Cleveland Visit

On Thursday, December 11, Saint Martin had the honor of welcoming Leadership Cleveland, a civic program designed to give present and future leaders a broader understanding of how our city works. These civic leaders also visited several other schools Thursday. This reflects our strong belief that the business community can and should partner with innovative schools to provide opportunity for the young men and women of Cleveland.
