Admissions
 
 

Students from Parish Schools

Students must register at Bishop Shanahan High School. Registration for students from parish elementary schools involves completing registration forms and paying a $350.00 registration fee. The parish school will forward report cards and standardized test scores to Shanahan at the close of the first semester of 8th grade. Acceptance is determined by these reports and records. Final failures must be made up in summer school. Students with a failing general average may not attend Bishop Shanahan.


Students from Catholic Academies or Out-of-State Catholic Schools

A student must register at our school and obtain from his/her previous school:

  • A copy of the latest standardized testing.
  • A copy of both seventh and eighth grade reports.
  • A letter from the pastor of the parish in which the family now resides.
  • Two letters of recommendation from present teachers in the present school attending.


Students from Public Schools

A student must register at our school and obtain from his/her previous school:

  • A copy of the latest standardized testing.
  • A copy of both seventh and eighth grade reports.
  • If the student is Catholic, a letter from the pastor of the parish in which the family resides.
  • Two letters of recommendation from present teachers in the present school attending.

After all documentation is received, an appointment will be made for an interview at which time the student's acceptance will be determined.

Students who are not Catholic follow this same procedure. A letter from your Church is not required unless you care to send it.
