Our Mission
El Puente High School is committed to providing a small, safe, and nurturing learning environment in which students focus on becoming contributing members of society. We believe that a solid and well-rounded academic education is the essential cornerstone in building a successful future for each of our students.
Our Vision
We envision providing students a rigorous and relevant curriculum with nurturing and safe relationships with staff.
Our History
El Puente High School for Science, Math, and Technology was founded in 1997 with a math and science emphasis to provide hands-on, project-based learning.
El Puente operates a full-day program leading to a diploma for students whose families are eligible to participate in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. Students are exposed to a variety of colleges and work training programs. El Puente is a private high school that is fully accredited by WRISA.
Who We Are
We believe that a solid academic education will allow our students the most opportunities when they graduate from our program. We want to help our students learn how they learn best, learn what social skills will allow them to resolve conflict peacefully, and how to manage their lives successfully both inside and out of the school building. We expect everyone, staff and students alike, to give their best effort. We expect you as a student to work hard and to learn. We expect that you will treat everyone in the El Puente community with respect and compassion.
El Puente’s curriculum and the program they utilize are designed to prepare students for moving into a university setting, technical training or full time employment. El Puente’s academic year also allows for greater success. The academic year begins in August and continues through June. This August – June schedule is simply a modified year-round schedule.
