What Marist Catholic High School does

Marist Catholic High School is a private, nonprofit, Christ-centered college-preparatory high school located on a 30-acre campus at 1900 Kingsley Road in Eugene, Oregon, serving approximately 450 students across grades 9-12 with an 11:1 student-to-teacher ratio and an average class size of 21. Founded in 1968 by the Marist Brothers under the Archdiocese of Portland and now led by President David Welch and Principal Bob Fraley, the school operates as a WCEA-accredited independent Catholic institution with a School Board of Directors governance model adopted in 2015.

The school's core educational product combines a 1:1 iPad technology program (integrated with Schoology LMS, PowerSchool SIS, and Naviance college counseling) with 12 Advanced Placement courses, College Now dual-enrollment credits, a four-year theology curriculum, a mandatory 65-hour Christian service requirement, and a tiered retreat program (Freshman Lock-In through Senior Metanoia).

Academic support is centralized in the Academic Resource Center (ARC), and the Christian Leadership Class develops upperclassmen as retreat leaders.

The business model is tuition-driven ($15,800 for 2026-27 with $600-$650 registration fees), supplemented by over $1 million in annual tuition assistance, nearly 100 Marist Foundation scholarships ($500-$3,500 each), the MaristGives annual gala, The FUND for Marist annual campaign, and a Legacy Society planned-giving program. Distribution runs through the Finalsite enrollment platform with an event-driven GTM motion that includes year-round campus tours, Preview Marist, Spartan for a Day shadowing, and Rising Spartan orientation, while a network of 65+ corporate partners provides community and fundraising support. Customer outcomes include a graduation rate above 98% and alumni placement at top universities worldwide.
