The Catholic Difference
At Marist Catholic High School, our Catholic faith is woven into everything we do, animating our mission to be a Christ-centered, welcoming community committed to academic excellence and preparing students to lead and serve. Excellence in academics is not just about our student's impressive test scores, small class sizes, full schedules, or the fact that our graduation rate continues to be above 98%. Excellence is about our Catholic faith in action – our Catholicity.
Marist works in partnership with its parents and families with fidelity to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as reflected in the teachings and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church. As such, our first and foremost belief is that each and every person has been created in God’s image. This truth permeates every facet of the school community and from it flow two basic assumptions: the highest human calling is to love and to be loved and the whole person is to be cherished, developed and cared for.
To cherish, develop and care for the student means we strive to be attentive to every component of a student’s humanity: the spiritual, the intellectual, the social, and the physical. Each is essential and each complements the others. It is our hope and intent that upon graduation a Marist student exemplifies the following characteristics and attitudes: Christ-centered, Committed to Academic Excellence, Socially Responsible, and Healthy & Balanced.

With Catholic Christian faith as the foundation, education is a process that pursues wisdom and truth. In such an environment, education becomes a permanently self-expanding activity, leading to understanding and freedom. It is characterized by a palpable sense of self-discipline, graciousness, charity, and hope. A Marist education inspires students to become moral, caring and competent leaders who, with a sense of joy and zeal, place their gifts at the service of the common good and pursue a social order that is attentive to the welfare and rights of others.

Tuition Assistance
|
Last year over $1 million in tuition assistance and scholarships was granted to almost 200 students - about 40% of the student population. With funds provided by the Marist Foundation, the Archdiocese in Portland and generous donors, tuition assistance and scholarships ensure that Marist can be accessible for every family. Opportunities for financial assistance with purchasing books and lunches is also available for students.
We encourage you to apply for assistance if you have any concerns about the ability to send your child to Marist due to the cost of tuition. We have a number of scholarship opportunities especially for Catholic families. |
