School Notes

The extraordinary of a Marquette University High School education has been recognized locally, regionally and nationally.
Niche.com ranked Marquette University High School as the , with an overall A+ rating.
Marquette University High School is rich in history and tradition. Founded as an academy for young men in 1857 the school was established to educate Catholic immigrants in their faith, to aid their families and the community by encouraging productive employment and civic involvement.
The mission of Marquette University High School as a Catholic, urban, college preparatory school in the Jesuit tradition is to educate young men to become community leaders of intellectual excellence, sincere compassion and resolute conscience who serve God by serving others.

Marquette High's commitment to faith, scholarship and community means we help young men develop not only their minds but also a personal relationship with God, an understanding of the world around them, and their responsibility to others. You can certainly find other schools that offer strong academic programs and good co-curriculars. Marquette offers both, but in addition, is committed to the moral and faith development of young men at a time we believe is most critical. That is what sets us apart.A Marquette High education provides a strong foundation that allows our alumni to define success as being happy and "Men for Others." It teaches our young men to understand early in life that money and title can be the by-product of living a successful life, but not the measure. We want our alumni to flourish in their careers, but just as important be loving sons, husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles, and religious or community leaders.
