Secret Santas at Madison La Follette High School
This year, the program is going to provide gifts for 152 students and siblings, nearly doubling what it provided last year, booster club secretary Sara Gold said. In 2020-21, 60.2% of La Follette’s students were considered “economically disadvantaged,” according to the state Department of Public Instruction, which put it second among the district’s comprehensive high schools, slightly behind East at 61.9%.
“This is just one part of a larger picture of what makes La Follette great and amazing and also the challenges that La Follette faces,” Gold said.
