ADMISSIONS

Admission to Salesian High School involves a comprehensive assessment of each applicant. While each applicant offers unique talents and gifts, enrollment is limited and not all applicants can be offered placement. The Admissions Committee works diligently to consider each applicant, carefully reviewing the following criteria:

• Grade reports for 7th and 8th grade. (“B” average or better is expected. “C” may be acceptable).
• Citizenship, Work Habits, and Conduct marks must be satisfactory.
• Recommendation letters from the education team at the current school.
• High School Placement Test results. (Taken in January).
• Personal Interview – a fifteen minute interview with a Salesian administrator or teacher. (Held in February).

Salesian High School accepts a small number of transfer applicants each year into the 10th and 11th grades. The number of seats available is determined at the end of the school year and depends on several factors, including current class enrollment. Salesian High School does not accept 12th grade students and only accepts transfer applicants for the Fall semester. The following outlines the procedures to apply for transfer:

• A completed on-line application submitted to the Office of Admissions by the May 1, 2008 deadline.
• Transcript: High school grades are required of all applicants, from 9th grade through the current year. The transcript request form should be completed by the registrar of the applicant's current school. For a conditional decision, you may send copies of the applicant's report cards from each high school year, including work up to the third quarter of the current year.
• Recommendations: A letter of recommendation from a current teacher is encouraged but not required.
• Standardized test scores.

Transfer students must have an acceptable transcript record with courses reflecting college preparatory work. Students will be interviewed if space is available in the class.
