Catholic High School Enrollment News: Fall 2025

It’s that exciting time of year when our Saint Mary School families begin thinking about the next step in their children’s education — Catholic high school!

The Diocese of Trenton offers many wonderful opportunities for students to continue growing in faith, knowledge, and service. Each of our diocesan high schools provides a caring environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. With a 99% graduation rate, over $160 million in scholarships awarded last year, and 96% of graduates continuing their education, our Catholic schools truly help students reach their fullest potential.

From innovative technology labs and creative arts programs to championship athletics and meaningful service experiences, there’s something for every student to explore.

Families are invited to visit our local Catholic high schools this fall for open houses, shadow days, and special events:

• Donovan Catholic High School, Toms River

• Red Bank Catholic High School, Red Bank

• St. Rose High School, Belmar

• St. John Vianney High School, Holmdel

• Notre Dame High School, Lawrenceville

These visits are a wonderful way to experience the warmth and spirit of our Catholic school communities — and to see how faith and learning come together in such inspiring ways.

Save the Date: The High School Placement Test will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025 (make-up dates are available through each school).

As your children prepare for this next exciting chapter, know that we are praying for you and walking beside you every step of the way. Together, we continue to nurture bright minds and faithful hearts — the true spirit of Catholic education.

With blessings and gratitude,
The Saint Mary School Administration
