Noack Strength and Fitness Center
The Noack Strength & Fitness Center offers 4,500 sq. ft. of strength and conditioning equipment. Programming is led by two full-time, certified strength and conditioning coaches to help all students achieve their fitness goals.
Traditional physical education courses are not offered at Marquette High. The fitness program (which is a requirement for freshmen) addresses health, fitness and wellness issues that can sometimes be neglected when students do not attend health or physical education classes. It is based on teaching lifetime activities that provide long-term benefits to health and well-being. This is a great opportunity for students to improve their current fitness level and overall health while receiving proper guidance and support throughout the process.

Freshman Fitness Program Requirement
Dedicated to educating the whole person, we see the physical formation of our students as an integral part of Jesuit education. Freshmen will participate in the Freshman Fitness Program throughout the academic school year. Participation will depend upon student's academic eligibility and current participation in athletics. Students involved in athletics will not have a fitness requirement during their athletic season. Exemptions may be issued by the Assistant Principal for Academics and the Fitness Director as appropriate. A fitness manual will be provided to all freshmen students during registration week. In addition, updated manuals will be posted on the school website.
The Fitness Program for freshman is a requirement for graduation, much like service. A mark of S/U for Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory will be placed on the student’s permanent MUHS transcript. Should a student fail to complete the fitness requirement, he will receive an ‘Unsatisfactory’ notation on his transcript, and the student will need to complete an equivalent make-up program in order to complete the requirement and be eligible for graduation. Students who fail to complete the weekly requirements will receive a JUG. This is a freshman only program.
Remember, you can only control what you can. Put yourself in the best position to succeed when the time comes, whatever that may be for you. Work hard in any capacity that you can and be confident that you have done all that is possible to better yourself.
