Admissions Information

No child whose parents/guardians desire to enroll him/her in a Catholic School in the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis should be denied on the basis of race, ethnicity, or gender.  

Every local effort should be made to provide each qualifying Catholic child the opportunity to attend a Catholic school regardless of the financial situation of the family.  Families should seek the advice of their pastor if a financial problem arises.  

Waiting Lists 

Waiting lists will be established when grades are filled.  The decision to open another classroom would be made at a later date by the school board.
