Please join us in congratulating Marquette Catholic sophomore Carson Klasner! At the recent Gateway Metro Conference Cross Country Championships he broke a nearly 20 year old Marquette record with a time of 16:33 in the 3 mile event. The previous record of 16:36 was set by Chris Leeds in 2007. Great job Carson!

Thank you to everyone who supported the Marquette Catholic Mega Raffle this year! We exceeded our goal and had some of the best support we have seen in many years. Congratulations all of our winners including Teresa Johnes, a long time Mega Raffle supporter and alumna who supports us from North Carolina. Teresa was joined by supporters from nearly forty states.

We also had a fantastic Homecoming Block Party for our Marquette family on Saturday. It was great to see so many graduates, parents, grandparents, and all those who make Marquette such a proud and supportive environment.

May God Bless our Marquette family.

On Explorers!

As Marquette Catholic High School celebrates Homecoming tonight in our 100th year, we took a look back through the decades of Marquette yearbooks. We don't have every yearbook with Homecoming photos since our founding, so if you see one that's missing feel free to send to us and we will add them.

Take a look, tag someone you recognize, and feel free to share a Homecoming memory of your own.

Since 1927, On Explorers!
