La Casa Guadalupana began in June 2014 in the parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe, serving the Hispanic Community of Southwest Detroit, MI.
The parish renovated the school in early 2015, a director and four teachers were hired, 60 students enrolled and the doors opened on March 2nd, 2015.
Students attended class three days a week, in Adult Basic Education - primary (grades 1-6), and secondary (grades 7-9) as well as GED exam (high school equivalency) preparation classes. In September 2015, classes expanded to four days with morning or evening options. Enrollment and teaching staff grew. English classes were added along with childcare for student parents.
By June 2016, 22 students earned certification through the Mexican Consulate in primary and secondary levels. Three levels of ESL (English as a second language) are now offered. In collaboration with Ascension Health, two nurse practitioners provide services to students each month.
By June 2017, 242 students had registered, 18 graduated GED certification, and 17 with primary or secondary certification.
In June 2017, La Casa de Guadalupana merged with Centro de San José, a tutoring program for students (1st-8th grade), to better focus on family literacy. This apt strategy helps our community strive towards social change for Latin community who prize family.
We're excited and grateful! La Casa Guadalupana was the final winner of the Non-Profit of the Year award from the Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. We recieved the award at the Gala Hispana on Friday, December 1st at MGM Grand Detroit.
Because we can see Casa Guadalupana's mission in action, represented by each of our students and graduates.
All efforts are rewarded: our teachers, board of directors, staff, and volunteers feel proud to see our students meet their goals and achieve their dreams.
