High School Admission Process

Beginning with the 7th Grade High School Information Night, students, parents and the school counselor begin to work cooperatively through the high school admissions process.  I highly encourage students and parents to attend open houses during the fall of 7th Grade, and to also spend a day at schools of interest during the fall of 8th Grade. 

Below please find information on schools that recent Grey Nun Academy graduates have attended.
