Save STA LATIN is a group of concerned students, parents, alumni (and alumnae), and community members who believe that Latin is vital to the well-rounded education of future leaders formed by STA.  We believe that the Academy Latin program is first in its class, and to eliminate it from the curriculum is a mistake that will be felt for decades to come.

​

Current and former students of the STA Latin program are and were the recipients of a top-tier Latin education thanks to STA's investment in Latin from its earliest days. However, STA Latin students from 1997 onwards have been taught by one of the nation's top Latin educators, Mr. Mitch Taraschi. While Mr. Taraschi is not affiliated with Save STA LATIN, he is beloved in the Academy and Visitation communities, and we believe that STA would only be compounding their mistake by eliminating not only Latin, but Mr. Taraschi's position.

 

In a time when educational quality is in unprecedented decline, Save STA LATIN is confident that, should STA eliminate Latin from its curriculum as planned, it will no longer be considered a leader in Minnesota academics. 

​

We are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure Latin is available to future Academy students.
