Saint Patrick High School has consistent interest year-over-year from Alumni and external parties, at an individual and organization level, to support our students. The Shamrock Community Business Partner Program, formerly the Green and Gold Mentorship Society, provides support for the newly implemented CTE programming in the form of finances, Internships, Employment, Career Treks (field trips), Sponsorships, Guest Speakers, Class Mentors, and Job Shadows.
The intent of the Shamrock Community Business Partner Program is for community mentors and partners to support our academic pathways including Engineering, Law, Education, Physical Education, World Languages, Sciences, Fine and Performing Arts, English, Mathematics, Public Safety and more.
The Shamrock Alumni Network spans over 13,000 in the Chicagoland area and beyond and each year, they play an integral part in the success of our students after high school and college. Philosophically, we believe that strong, consistent connection between our alumni and current students/recent graduates fosters continued interest and continuous growth of our storied institution.
