Marian Central Catholic High School is a college preparatory Catholic school. Marian shares with parents and the parishes of the McHenry Deanery in the teaching mission of the Church. Our school provides students with an education infused with Catholic Christian values, designed to promote religious, spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development.

The foundation for all of our educational efforts includes:
-Creating a Catholic Christian faith community in which students are encouraged to grow religiously and spiritually as they interact with each other, the church, and the community.
-Presenting a curriculum that challenges all students, fosters academic excellence, encourages the development of critical thinking skills, promotes physical wellness, and leads to a commitment to life-long learning, within a caring and moral educational environment.
-Providing opportunities for all students to participate in a variety of co-curricular activities and service programs.
-Fostering a sense of self-worth in each student and an awareness of each student’s social responsibility through involvement in school, church, and community organizations.
-Affirming the inherent dignity of and respect for every person, while preparing students to be responsible citizens in society as well as active participants in the Church and in the world.
-Emphasizing the development of character and ethical standards through the application of Catholic principles.
