FEATURED SUCCESS STORY

Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School

Responding to a need and call for a Catholic high school in the Diocese of San Bernardino, the Sisters of the Company of Mary of Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic School in Temecula, California engaged Meitler to conduct a new school feasibility study. The study consisted of a data and enrollment potential study and financial analysis on the cost to plan, construct, open and initially operated a new high school. St. Jeanne de Lestonnac Catholic High School opened for the 2018-19 school year with 34 students. Initial projections and registrations indicate enrollment will double for 2019-20. Planned enrollment goal is 400 students.
