Summary Situated just outside downtown Newark, St. Benedict's is a model of successful inner-city school, with 95% of its graduates going on to college. 'Miracle on High Street' is the story of how the monks of St. Benedict's transformed their venerable yet outdated school to become a thriving part of the community.
