The best way for prospective students to experience a day in the life of a Hurricane is to shadow a current Marian Central student. Prospective students will attend Marian Central classes, enjoy complimentary lunch and meet our teachers and students. Shadow days are reserved for 7th and 8th grade students or high school students interested in transferring to Marian Central and are designed for students who have yet to decide on their high school choice.

All 8th grade students interested in attending Marian Central must take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Though not used as an entrance exam, we require all students to take the test to assist in determining proper course placement.

Each student and their parents will meet with a Marian Central registrar for assistance in your student’s selection of required and elective courses. The HSPT score, along with grades and standardized test scores are taken into consideration when recommending course placement. Additional information will be sent regarding registration to students who participate in our placement test in December.

Registration will be handled by appointment only. Beginning February 1st, interested families can schedule an appointment by calling 815-338-4220 x107.
