A promising future. Marian Middle School prepares students for entry into college preparatory high schools. This type of academic opportunity would be out of reach for these girls in a traditional school system.

How do Marian girls perform today? We’re proud to say very well! In high school, Marian graduates earn an average 2.8 GPA, achieve honor roll status, and participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities. Marian creates opportunities for girls to complete their education and become well-rounded, productive members of our community.

In less than 10 years, Marian Middle School has grown to offer classes, workshops, mentoring, tutoring, and enrichment programs to 60 girls each year. Our success meant that we outgrew our existing space.

To accommodate our program’s continued progress, we have relocated to our permanent home at the former Holy Family School and Recreation Center, 4130 Wyoming. The new facility has space for more classrooms, a library, laboratories, a chapel, and a gymnasium.

Making Room for Bigger Dreams. As we embark on this exciting new phase of our growth, generous campaign contributors are critical to fund and improve our new home, maintain the quality and excellence of our unique program, and provide an endowment for a strong future.

Your generosity will help our students realize their hopes and dreams. With your financial support, Marian Middle School can empower girls with the tools they need to succeed. You can help our students and their families break the cycle of poverty.
