Saint Gabe's GED Pass Rate for 2014 far exceeds the National Average!! The National average GED pass rate for 2002-2013 was 70.9%. The National average GED pass rate for 2014 was 60% (implementing new changes to GED test). Proud to announce that Saint Gabriel's Hall's 2014 GED Pass Rate was an astonishing 91%. Kudos to the staff and students who work hard to make this happen!!

Hello,
Stumbled upon the website today and decided to check in.
I grew up at St Francis Vocational School from 69 - 76 and attended De La Salle from 74 to 76. Upon graduation I was discharged from SFVS and returned only a few times over the years. I currently live in Texas just outside of Austin with my wife and 2 school aged children. For the past 16 years I've worked as an Area Manager for a wood moulding company overseeing a workforce that services our varied product lines in 61 Home Depots from the Mexican border all the way to the Texas panhandle.
