Admissions | procedures

Students are encouraged to attend Open House. An application can be downloaded on-line and once completed be sent to the school. Bishop Connolly accepts students on a rolling basis. We highly encourage applicants to complete and submit their applications as early as possible due to limited space in each incoming class. The application includes: a section to be completed by parent(s)/Guardian, a student writing sample, school recommendation (including a transcript of your grades and test scores), and a character recommendation. It is also required that all students take the placement test. The placement exam will be held on November 21st starting at 8:00 AM at Bishop Connolly HS. A make-up date is scheduled for December 5th at 8:00 AM. The cost is $20 and students are asked to bring two #2 pencils. Students who have missed taking the placement exam may contact the admissions office at the school for a make-up date. Take advantage of presentations given at High School Fairs. Acceptance letters are sent out the last Friday in January.
