High School Admissions

If you are requesting a letter of reference or need transcripts for your high school application, please put these requests in writing. Most high schools have a form that you can hand in to get the records you need.

Any letter or record will be sent to the school. Please include a stamped envelope with your request.

Please keep in mind due dates. Teachers often have several requests at once, therefore give them ample time to adequately complete letters and form.

Be sure to ask a teacher if they will be willing to complete a letter/form for you before you give or email them the form.

As of July 1, 2019, the 17 high schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia changed the school application process to SchoolAdmin.

You can access the application by visiting the school's website, visiting the Admissions tab and creating an account.

Should you have any questions, please contact the Admissions Director at the desired high school.
