Be a Part of MCHS Class of 2017

Marian Catholic High School invites 8^th grade students to take the entrance exam on Saturday, January 12, 2013, at 8:00 a.m. in the Sr. M. Paul McCaughey, O.P. Leadership Center. 

“It’s an exciting time to be at Marian Catholic,” said Principal Sr. Kathleen Anne Tait, O.P. “With recently named football coach, Jerry Verde '95, taking on the role to innovate the program; the band preparing to perform at the 2013 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade; and the technology and media center constantly evolving; Marian Catholic is anticipating new developments which enhance opportunities for all students.”

At Marian Catholic, 90 percent of the student body is involved in an extra-curricular activity. The variety of athletics, fine arts, and clubs that are offered at Marian Catholic permit students to find an activity that is the right fit providing them with an enriching high school experience while encouraging them to maintain the high academic standards that has been the hallmark of Marian Catholic.  Last year, students in 19 out of 24 varsity athletic teams averaged a 3.4 GPA.

Creating an environment of excellence is a priority at Marian Catholic. For some families, providing an elite college prep Catholic education for their student may require a financial sacrifice, Marian Catholic has a wide range of scholarships.  In an effort to maintain a student body of academic distinction, Marian Catholic offers academic scholarships to incoming freshmen who score at the 90^th percentile or above on the entrance exam. Scholarships range from $2,000 to $8,000, depending on the student’s score. Students who receive Entrance Exam Scholarships are still eligible to apply for additional scholarships. In addition, scholarships are offered to incredible students who excel in various areas of school life.

Recruitment Director, Sr. Dorothy Marie Solak, O.P. advises, “If you want a school that will help you grow spiritually, help you develop leadership skills, give you the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities, provide you with the opportunity to develop friendships that will last a lifetime while also giving you the opportunity to excel in academics, athletics, and fine arts, then Marian Catholic is the school for you. Take our entrance exam on January 12, and be a part of the Marian Catholic Class of 2017!”
