Admission Policy

Basic Information:

  • Mount St. Mary Catholic High School will consider for admission any young person with adequate elementary school preparation regardless of race, creed, social status, or cultural background.
  • A student will not be denied admission to the school because of a handicap unless this handicap seriously impairs the student’s ability to successfully complete the school’s academic program or unless the school cannot provide sufficient physical or educational care for the individual.
  • Mount St. Mary retains the right to set local admission standards and policies.

Student’s Records and Recommendations:

  • A prospective student’s transcript, test scores, and records concerning behavior and attendance are all considered in determining a prospective student’s eligibility to enroll.
  • All students and parents/guardians must complete questionnaires regarding the student’s interests, attitudes, strengths, and challenges.
  • Current teacher, administrator, and/or school counselor recommendations are also requested.
  • Sign up to take a high school placement test onsite at MSM. Many schools, including all of the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, already use MAP. If an 8th grader is enrolled in a school that provides MAP testing, they do not have to schedule a testing session with our school. 

Visiting the Campus:

  • A visit/tour of the school by prospective parents and students is part of the enrollment process and may be accomplished through a guided tour, a shadow visit, participating in a Day at The Mount, or attending MSM Open House. Contact us today to schedule your visit! Contact the MSM Director of Admissions at 405-631-8865.
