Saint Mary's requires three recommendations: one from your current math teacher, english teacher, and principal or counselor.
 

To simplify the work of the eighth grade teachers who are asked to complete the recommendation forms, Saint Mary’s will also accept a copy of a completed recommendation form from another Catholic or private school.

Recommendations are to be requested and sent through your online application parent portal. Please note: you CANNOT submit requests until your application is completed. 

We recommend that the forms be given to your student's current school at least four weeks before the Feb. 2, 2024 deadline.

8th grade transcripts are due Feb. 2, 2024.
 
How do I send them?
Use the request form in your parent portal checklist.
This can be found when logged into your online application.
