About Roselle Catholic High School
Our Mission
The Roselle Catholic Mission
…is to ensure that all students demonstrate a commitment to fully develop their intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual potential through the guidance and direction of talented and dedicated educators.
Seeking to instill in our students the mastery of skills and knowledge, we empower them to be successful, responsible and ethical citizens.
This is accomplished in the Marist Tradition of Excellence in teaching, learning in cooperation with family and community and the existence of a safe and caring environment.
The Roselle Catholic Spirit
…can be felt throughout our hallways, within our classrooms and through our students and faculty. The Marist Brothers’ teachings serve as the core of our Campus Ministry,
which aids in spiritual development.
There is a true sense of pride to be part of the Roselle Catholic community that
extends beyond the school walls, evidenced by the feeling of family spirit apparent
even in the larger community. Roselle Catholic is a welcoming, nurturing environment,
where it’s easy and comfortable to fit in and succeed.
Campus Ministry
The Marist Brothers tradition serves as the core of our Campus Ministry program,
which aids in the spiritual development of all our students with a particular emphasis
on service and outreach.
Daily prayer, school liturgies, prayer services, community service and annual class retreats to the Marist Brothers’ Retreat House in Esopus, New York help bring out the true spirit of each and every Roselle Catholic student.

Our Graduates
Roselle Catholic graduates continue to obtain millions of dollars every year in scholarships and grants toward their college careers. Greater than 98% of our graduates attend college, with many currently on the campuses of some of the finest universities in the country. Every year over 5% of our students are designated as Advanced Placement Scholars and over 15% gain admittance into the National Honor Society.
