"As both an alumnus and a parent of the Marquette school system, I have been most impressed that our school is not the same school it was when I graduated. Marquette has changed with the times, adapted to new technologies, improved curriculum and instruction, and has become an area education leader!"
"The small school atmosphere and community really helped shape me into the person I am today. The support and relationships I built throughout my time at Marquette pushed me to be the best version of myself. They gave me the tools and ability to succeed long after my time there." - Alum
"I am a proud Marquette Catholic School graduate so the decision to send my own children to a Catholic school was simple. With my own faith being such an important component of my everyday life, I wanted that foundation for my children, along with a quality education from dedicated teachers. There is something truly special about Marquette Catholic - we are more than just a school - we are a family."
"Over 50 years ago I graduated from MHS. My high school years prepared me both spiritually and intellectually. Fond memories of my teachers and classmates make Marquette special to me. The Franciscan Sisters instilled us with a strong moral compass and the importance of a life of service." - Alum
