MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- At Milwaukee's St. Augustine Prep High School, they have a ceremony that's really more than a graduation. As we found out Friday, this has the feel of a pep rally.
They call it Decision Day at the school on Milwaukee's south side, and it's a celebration of graduating seniors as they announce their post-high school plans.
What's next for these high-achieving young people?
The future looks pretty bright, since 100% of St. Augustine Prep's graduating class has been accepted into either two-year or four-year colleges or the military.
"As we move forward, remember Jeremiah 29:11. That God has plans to prosper you and give you hope and a future. We are incredibly proud of how the Class of 2026 is embracing its purpose and calling. We are truly stronger together."
More impressive numbers: of the 140 graduating seniors, almost nine out of the 10 will be first-generation college students. And the class of '26 has already earned more than $21 million in scholarships.
