Al visits and tours have been postponed at this time. Please check back for an update on the scheduling these events.
DeMatha Catholic High School offers prospective students and families four different options if interested in visiting our campus:
A Stag-for-a-Day Visit, the most student-centered of the four options, provides the opportunity for a current 8th grade student to experience a DeMatha school day. Admissions Staff offer a presentation upon arrival with the Stag-for-a-Day departing to a full slate of classes with a current 9th grader afterward. The 8th grade student interacts with DeMatha students and teachers throughout the day while seeing our campus firsthand. Lunch is provided free of charge from the Stag Cafe. The Stag-for-a-Day will have the opportunity to meet music directors, athletic coaches, and club moderators of his interest. This opportunity is strongly recommended for all students considering DeMatha as their high school choice.
Parents and prospective students are invited to join us the first Sunday in November, for our Admissions Open House. On this day, students in grade Six, Seven, Eight and their families visit DeMatha. Visitors are welcomed by a concert from our Music Program, Admissions Staff offer a general information session, Dr. McMahon presents "The Six Pillars of DeMatha," and families are given self or student guided tours through campus where they learn more about DeMatha--academics, arts, music, athletics, service, co-curricular activities and plans for the future.
On-Campus Information Sessions provide a more intimate informational experience. Twice in the fall and once in the spring the Admissions Staff gathers with families in the Kilby Alumni Lounge to share information about DeMatha and the high school admissions process.
Campus Tours are scheduled during the spring or summer, and provide families with a guided walk through campus. Time is spent in and around each of the campus buildings, as visitors get to experience the small college campus atmosphere. (By appointment only)
In an August 12, 2020 communication to all DeMatha families, Fr. James, DeMatha President, announced that, out of an abundance of caution for the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and families, DeMatha will engage in virtual learning for all students.
This decision will be reviewed toward the end of the first marking period, October 23, 2020. Further details will be sent to all DeMatha Families in the near future.
