"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves." --William Shakespeare



Choosing a high school is an important decision for students and their families.  There are a variety of questions about visiting the school, the entrance exam, and the application process.  Plus, a high school needs to feel right - a place where students find friendship, knowledge, and a sense of belonging.

This section covers all of those questions - from the FAQs about how to attend Marist, to the top 10 things you should do as you get to know Marist.

One of the best ways to get to know Marist is by participating in our shadow program, Fridays at Marist.  Students can spend the day with a current Marist freshman or sophomore and see what life is like in a a typical day at Marist.  Fridays at Marist run from September 19 through December 12.  Students must register in advance in order to attend.  You'll also need to submit a permission slip to Marist High School.  Click on the Fridays at Marist link above for more information to download a permission slip as a .pdf file.

Attending an Open House is another excellent opportunity for students and their families to get to know Marist.  It offers a chance to speak with current students, teachers and coaches about life at Marist.  Information about our excellent athletics and activities is also available, as well as a tour of our spectacular campus.

Marist will hold two Open House events this fall.  The first will be on Sunday, October 19th, and the second will be on Sunday, November 23rd.  Both will run from noon until 3pm.  Prospective students and their families are encouraged to attend.  Please arrive by 2:15pm to receive a tour of our campus.
