Graduation 2025 

Graduate at Graduation Assembly

The Marquette University High School Grad at Grad Awards ceremony is a tradition that recognizes graduating seniors who embody the ideals of the Jesuit education: being Intellectually Excellent, Religious, Loving, Open to Growth, and Committed to Justice. The 2025 awardees have exemplified these qualities through their dedication, leadership and service. This year, we celebrated the following exceptional achievements at our annual Grad at Grad ceremony on May 13, 2025: The 2025 Grad at Grad Awards

Baccalaureate Mass

We will celebrate our Baccalaureate Mass for graduates and parents/guardians on Thursday, May 22, at 7 p.m. in the O'Rourke Performing Arts Hall at Marquette University High School. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Attendance at this Mass is not required. Seating is limited to a maximum of five guests for each graduate. Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will include main auditorium seating and the balcony. Appropriate dress for the seniors is a shirt, tie, dress shoes and dress pants. Please be advised that the auditorium is not air conditioned, and while the auditorium is wheelchair accessible, the space to park a wheelchair is limited to the back of the auditorium and hallway entrance.

If your grad has a family member who is a Catholic priest or deacon, especially one who is an MUHS alumnus, you may wish to ask him if he would like to concelebrate the liturgy. If he says yes, please provide his contact information to Mr. Paul Farrell by Monday, May 12, so that we can provide your relative with the information he will need to participate in the celebration.

Commencement for the Class of 2025 will be held at the UW- Milwaukee Panther Arena (400 W. Kilbourn Avenue) on Saturday, May 24, at 10 a.m. with the doors opening at 9:15 a.m. There is not a limit in the number of guests for each graduate.
