Campus Visit Program

Campus Visit Program

The students, faculty and staff of Marquette University High School invite all prospective students to spend a day visiting our school.

Eighth-grade students are encouraged to spend a day at Marquette High anytime during the fall semester of eighth grade (September – December). Seventh-grade students who can't wait to see what being a Hilltopper is all about can visit during the spring semester of seventh grade (January – April).

Answers to questions such as "What will high school be like?," "How will I fit in?" or "What's for lunch?" are common questions and best answered by an in-person visit during a regular school day. It's truly the best way to experience what it is really like to be a student at Marquette High. You will sit in on classes, eat lunch with current students, meet faculty and take a tour of the building.

Campus Visits are set up through the Admissions Office. Visiting students will be matched with a Hilltopper Ambassador with common interests. Visit dates (September – April) are posted on the school's website. Students arrive by 7:45 a.m. and can be picked up at 3 p.m. (School ends at 3:10 p.m.)

Campus Visit Program for Parents

Parents are invited to attend a 45-minute coffee time and brief presentation after dropping off their sons. Following the presentation, an optional 30-minute highlight building tour will be available for interested parents.

Campus Visit Tips
