Marin Catholic High School

 
Marin Catholic is an Archdiocesan, Catholic, co-ed college prep high school founded on the values of faith, knowledge, and service. The young men and women attending Marin Catholic are dedicated, accomplished students, willing and able to undertake the challenges of a college preparatory program and eager to make their unique contribution to the school community. The Marin Catholic student body of nearly 800 students reflects the socio-economic, cultural, and ethnic diversity of the community.
 
The administrators, faculty, and staff of Marin Catholic work hard to maintain a dynamic, student-centered environment, one that affords our young men and women every opportunity to achieve excellence. The administration is led by Tim Navone, President, and Chris Valdez, Principal. Together they have created a focused and passionate team that is dedicated to delivering on the mission of the school every day. Their commitment to the Marin Catholic community is seen through their dedication to Catholic education, recognition by their peers, and admiration of the current Marin County community of families, faculty, and staff.

MC students participate in extracurricular and co-curricular activities such as music, theatre, athletics, student leadership, campus ministry, Christian service, clubs and more.
