Friday At Marist Shadow Program

At Marist High School, we believe experiencing our students, teachers, and campus is the best way to get to know us. On a shadow day, students will tour the school, attend classes with a freshman or sophomore, and enjoy lunch. It’s an interactive day that truly gives prospective students insight into life at Marist.

Here’s What to Expect on Your Shadow Day

Arrival Time: Students should arrive at 8 AM and enter at the Main Gym entrance. Students will be there to greet you. Parents should note that the school day begins at 8 AM. If your child is receiving a ride from a current Marist student or parent, it is okay to arrive a few minutes early. It is recommended that students arrive at 8 AM so campus traffic will be manageable.

Dismissal Time: The Fridays at Marist program will end at 2:15 PM. Marist regular dismissal time is 2:40 PM. If your child is receiving a ride home from a current Marist student or parent, it is okay to stay until dismissal.

Attire: Students should dress casually and neat. Friday’s are a dress down spirit day for Marist students. Visiting students are welcome to wear Marist apparel. 

Lunch: Visiting students will be our guest for lunch. If there are any special dietary needs, please email us in advance.
