10,000,000 colors exist in the world today. From the outside,

Ladue may seem to only use two of those: blue and white.

However, our variety sinks deeper into the heart of our school:

the students. Ladue consists of nearly 1,300 students. 1,300

backgrounds. 1,300 personalities. 1,300 colors embodied.

These students grew up .n d1verse communities, from the isolated

countrysides of Europe, to the big cities of China, to the quiet

suburbs of St. Louis, but came together at Ladue. Together, our

colors blend to bring diversity to our community. At the football

state championships, Ladue colors flourished throughout the

crowd. At coaches vs cancer, our pink popped as we raised

$ 1,500. At the completion of the renovation, our bold and

bright identities painted the new hallways. Our diverse students

make Ladue a vibrant place to remember. We no longer live in

a black and white world; Ladue students ...
