SISTERHOOD

JOY

Wondering if you’ll fit in? Asking yourself,

"Will I make friends?"

“Can I handle the work?”

That’s totally normal! But here’s the secret:

Marian is more than a school.

We are a family.

You aren’t just a student in a seat—you are a sister in a community that’s cheering you on. Whether you love science or sports, art or reading (or aren’t sure yet!), there is a place for you here.

The Marian Sisterhood

“Sisterhood” isn’t just a word we use, it’s how we treat each other every day.

A “Drama-Free” Zone

We prioritize kindness. Our students look out for one another, creating a supportive space where you can focus on your goals.

Mentors Who Look Like You

You will be surrounded by teachers, graduates, and volunteers who reflect your community.

Friends for Life

The bonds you make here last forever. Our alumnae stay connected through high school, college, and beyond. It’s even common to see alumnae walking the halls.

Faith in Action

We honor your faith. From Gospel Karaoke during Catholic Schools Week to interdenominational prayer services, we connect with God in many ways.

Do I have to be Catholic?

We welcome students and families from all backgrounds! That’s part of what makes our sisterhood so special. We prefer to focus on values that unite us all—like kindness, service, and respect.

Is there a dress code?

Yes – our students appreciate that uniforms take the guesswork out of getting ready in the morning, while still creating opportunity for you to showcase your personal style through accessories, shoes, and more.

We also award “Dress Down Days” throughout the year.
