Marist Shadow Days Return Fridays This Fall

CHICAGO, IL -- Want to be a RedHawk? Marist High School invites grammar school students to visit and experience life at the school during the fall semester.

The school’s popular Fridays at Marist program is running now through Friday, Dec. 2. Students in sixth through eighth grade can spend a day shadowing a Marist freshman or sophomore and learn what life is like at the home of the RedHawks. The day includes a campus tour, academic classes, and lunch. It is a great way for prospective students to get a firsthand understanding of what Marist is like.

The program runs every Friday through Dec. 2, with the exception of Nov. 25, when Marist is closed for Thanksgiving break.

Students should dress casual and neat. Collared shirts are requested, but no jeans permitted. Sneakers and gym shoes are okay.

Details about shadow days can be found on Fridays at Marist. Parents can register their children online or via phone at at 773-881-5363.

Students should plan to arrive at 8 a.m. through the high school’s main office at 4100 W. 115th St. in Chicago. Dismissal is at 2:30 p.m. (regular afternoon dismissal is at 2:20 p.m.). Plan on heavy afternoon student pick-up.

Celebrating more than 50 years of excellence, Marist High School is a Catholic, co-ed high school that prepares students for higher education and life.
