Leading the Way for Young Women

Since its founding in 1955, Marian has been leading the way for young women. Widely recognized for its athletic programs, Marian is producing more than state champions - it is producing confident leaders. No matter your interests, you will find the support to develop leadership skills in a nurturing, safe and spirited environment at Marian. 

Marian is all-girls for ALL girls.  Marian has created a comfortable, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where every girl can thrive. It is a safe place for a girl to be herself and discover who she is. So what is the formula for success?

Academics first. First and foremost, Marian is academically challenging. Marian offers a comprehensive college prep curriculum that includes options for honors, AP, and dual enrollment coursework.  A professional, caring faculty knows how to teach young women. As a result, 100 percent of graduates continue their education, and 80% of the graduates earn merit-based scholarships of more than $40,000.

The right size. As Nebraska’s only Class A girls’ high school, Marian provides the opportunities of a large high school in a smaller setting. With a current enrollment of 600, Marian has what researchers identify as an optimum size, providing stronger student achievement, higher participation among students and a richer curriculum.

Something for everyone. With more than 50 clubs and activities and 26 athletic teams in 11 Class A state-sanctioned sports, a Marian girl has endless opportunities to develop her leadership potential, become part of a group, discover herself, and experience new opportunities.

Facilities for every interest. Marian boasts an impressive 40-acre campus with a 20,000 square-foot performing arts center, a STEM lab, art studios and a kiln, a FIFA-regulation turf soccer field, softball field, tennis courts and a track with a turfed infield. The Haddix Academic Center located in the heart of the building, gives all students access to a university-style library with zoned spaces for research, collaboration and quiet study. 

Leadership development opportunities. An all-girls environment supports and encourages diverse interests without the social pressures found in a coed environment. At Marian, formal and informal leadership opportunities exist through clubs, student government, athletics, fine arts and campus ministry. Students are encouraged to take the lead and develop new programs. In response, Marian students founded new clubs, such as Sustainability Club, Young Medicine and Step Club.
