From parentsand alumni
"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

from teachersand students
"What makes Marquette special? The opportunity to openly share my faith and grow in it along with the students." - Teacher
"One thing I love about Marquette and what makes it so special is the relationships students and teachers have. The smaller class sizes allow them to get to know each other better, which I believe, in turn, makes for a better education and makes coming to school much more enjoyable." - Student
"As a teacher, I love being able to spread the love and passion I took on for education as a student when I went to Marquette."
"Marquette is special to me because it is where I grew up. I have never gone to a different school, so everyone here is like family to me. I love Marquette because of how close all the students are. " - Student
"Everyone at Marquette is part of a big family. Seeing the parents, students, and fans during postseeason basketball this year really showed me how much everyone cared about our team, and our school. I love that about Marquette." - Student
