Marian High School is Nebraska’s only Class A, Catholic, North Central Accredited college preparatory school for girls. Marian was founded in 1955 by the Servants of Mary, a religious order of sisters (sometimes called Servites), whose mission is to be a compassionate presence to those who suffer or are in need. Their belief was that Marian should be available to any girl who wanted to receive a Servite education, regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic status. Five decades later, Marian continues to be committed to this mission.
