Catholic Schools Week January 27th - January 31st  

Catholic Schools Week is celebrated to highlight and promote the value of Catholic education, honor the contributions of students, teachers, and staff, and to recognize the important role Catholic schools play in the community. It’s a time to reflect on the positive impact these schools have, not just academically, but also in fostering spiritual growth, moral development, and service to others.

For students and staff, it’s a time to show pride in our Catholic school community, celebrate achievements, and strengthen the faith-based mission of Marquette Academy. The week also emphasizes the importance of values like compassion, service, and commitment to education. Marquette Academy has a long tradition of academic excellence in a Catholic community that involves educating the whole person, with involvement in community service and extracurricular activities that prepare students for the future. We are proud to celebrate our school and our Marquette family!
