Mission: Marian Middle School, a Catholic school serving adolescent girls of all religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by fostering their spiritual, academic, social, moral, emotional, and physical development in preparation for and successful completion of college preparatory high schools.
Results: Since Marian Middle School opened its doors to 14 girls in 2000, the school has shepherded 214 young women through middle school. Our alumnae have a 96% high school graduation rate and 82% go on to enroll in post-secondary programs at two- and four-year institutions of higher education.

Plus, we have given over $1.4 million in scholarship money to our graduates over the past 10 years!
