Applying to a Catholic High School
CRITERIA FOR ADMISSIONS
Students apply to a Catholic high school by completing the high school’s application form.
Grades, test scores, and in some cases, an interview is considered by Catholic high schools in
determining admission for each student. Each Catholic high school is unique and so is their
admission process. Learn more about each Catholic high school by reviewing the enclosed
description and visiting their website.
A placement test is required by all Catholic high schools unless otherwise indicated by the high
school. This section pertains to the process for registering for and taking the HSPT. For testing
