Marian Catholic has been everything we asked for and more. Our daughter loves the school, the teachers, the community, and we've been very fortunate with their generous scholarships to make her education affordable. Our son is ready to start high school next year, and we didn't even look around — Marian is the one and only choice!

Although I moved before I graduated, my best memories and connections to people were from Marian. I loved it. Tough, yes. Worth it, absolutely. Faculty was always fantastic and students always great. My time at Marian means more to me than the 2 years at the school I graduated from in SC.

I've had my two children attend Marian Catholic HS. MCHS was a perfect fit for my kids and my kids were a perfect fit for MCHS. This school prepares their students with more than just the tools to enter college, they help prepare them for life. MCHS is a great foundation from which their students grow. I couldn't be happier with MCHS.

Love, love, love Marian Catholic!!!! Marian's reputation proceeds itself. It has a wonderful environment that focuses on academics, community and faith. I have 3 sons...... one who graduated from Marian in 2015 and went on to graduate college in 2019; one who is currently a junior and one who will be a freshman next year. Marian has been a blessing. Attending Marian has been an invaluable investment from which our family continues to reap the benefits.

I am proud parent of a Marian Alum and a current student. Our family's experience has been positive on all fronts. The students are challenged academically and supported spiritually while given the opportunity to grow personally. There are an abundance of extra-curricular activities as well as a bevy of sports to complete the Spartan arsenal!

Great school where the administration and faculty expect the students to take pride in their work. To respect one another. And be the best person they can be. Plus a phenomenal music arts program. Great sports program. Broadcast media and STEAM programs. College prep at its best!

Marian was a great choice for my son. The support and dedication the school has for the children is remarkable. The goal is to ensure all kids are equipped with what they need to move on to the next level. I do that my kid was well versed as he went to us his college journey. Kudos to Marian. I would recommend them to any family. Keep up the good work! Class of 2017.

I absolutely LOVED my time at this school. It's hard academically especially in honors/AP classes but very much pays off when your first year of college seems almost easy even in a competitive major. Senior year here was the best year of my life, the time when you finally get close to all your classmates and teachers. This school very much becomes `home` too many students and alumni, and it can be very hard for some kids to graduate and leave it behind. Despite all the pains during my years here, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat despite the sacrifices. You will guaranteed be blessed with an amazing education, lifelong friends, nostalgic memories, and a second home to come back to.

As an alum and parent of 2 alums, Marian Catholic gave me and my children an education that taught us how to learn which allowed us to be successful and competitive in the workforce. The tuition is worth every penny when you see your children move forward to their 1st choice colleges and graduate and succeed from there. Forever a Spartan!
