Early Graduation

Bishop McNamara Catholic High School holds that the educational, social, and spiritual growth of the student is best served through a four-year, college preparatory high school experience. We do recognize that colleges and universities may request the possibility of early graduation to pursue scholarships at the collegiate level. Due to the four year theological and college preparatory curriculum offered, early graduation is contingent on strict criteria and any formal requests must be made to the Principal prior to the end of the first semester of a students Junior year of high school. Additional information is available upon request.
