Marist High School is a private Roman Catholic co-educational college preparatory secondary school located in Bayonne, New Jersey, United States. It is owned and operated by the Marist Brothers of the Schools, an international religious congregation of educators with schools in over seventy countries. It is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark.
As of the 2007-08 school year, the school had an enrollment of 510 students and 39.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.9.[2]
History
Marist first opened its doors in September, 1954. Under the leadership of Brother Leo Sylvius, the school's first principal, Marist High School quickly established a reputation for excellence.[citation needed] Strong support from parents and the wider community made it imperative to plan a new and larger school. In 1962 the present campus was acquired, and on April 23, 1964, ground was broken for a new building which would tie together existing buildings on the campus.
The result was a modern structure with twenty-four classrooms, lecture rooms and laboratories for physics, chemistry, biology and earth science, an art studio, a computer center, and a fully equipped weight room. An extensive library with a complete audio-visual department, a guidance complex with a career resource center, together with a large gymnasium-auditorium complex and a spacious cafeteria complete the school building. In 1977, additional land was acquired for expanding the school's athletic facilities. In 1995, an athletic field was built in back of the school.
In 1986, due to changing demographics, Marist decided to open its doors to young women and became a co-educational high school. Students from throughout Hudson and Essex counties and the surrounding metropolitan area attend the school. Marist is established primarily for Catholic students.
