There are several ways to explore opportunities at Saint Mary's Catholic High School:

For eighth grade students, we sponsor two Eighth Grade Days in October. Catholic schools are invited to these events and arrangements are made at the school level. For other eighth graders, please call 602-251-2501 to make a reservation so that we can plan accordingly. We ask that all students be accompanied by an adult. The day is designed for students and focuses on student interests. Lunch will be served and the day ends with a pep assembly.

For parents of prospective students at every level, we sponsor a formal Open House each November. The Open House includes an opening presentation and a tour of the campus, with new presentations throughout the afternoon. Faculty, coaches, and parents of current students will be available. Although the day is designed for parents, students are welcome to attend.

The application process for freshmen begins with the High School Placement Test (Entrance Exam).
Scheduled test dates are offered in January each year (no pre-registration is required).
All test takers should arrive at our Main Office by 7:45 on the morning of the test day. The test will take approximately four hours. A testing fee of $35 will be charged. The testing fee is due on the day the test is taken.

This test is given by all diocesan high schools. Saint Mary's will accept test scores for a student if the test was taken at another high school.

Parents interested in exploring Saint Mary’s Catholic High School as the school for their son or daughter, are encouraged to contact Rob Rogers, Assistant Principal, at (602) 251-2508 for more information or to begin the admissions process.

Financial assistance is available and Saint Mary’s welcomes students of all faiths. Students coming to Saint Mary's from a public or charter school, and who demonstrate financial need, may qualify for funding from a separate Corporate Tax Credit fund established with the Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix.

Saint Mary's continues to pursue every avenue for financial aid resources. For those interested in financial aid, we remind you that the CTODP financial aid application for second round must be filed on or before July 31, 2009. The timely filing of this application is essential to receiving aid from any source. The form requires the attachment of your 2008 federal income tax return, so early preparation of your tax returns is essential and should begin ASAP.
