We are honored you have chosen our school to consider for your child’s high school education.

Since 1908, TMP-Marian has been providing students from around the region and world with a college preparatory high school education. Each year almost 100% of the graduates continue their education. Students are accepted to 4 year public/private universities and colleges, 2 year junior/community colleges, vocational/trade schools, and military service. In recent years, the students of the graduating class have been offered over 1 million dollars in scholarships annually.

TMP-M seeks to admit students who demonstrate a drive to grow in faith, academics, and leadership.

TMP-Marian offers domestic boarding students two choices in their room and board:

1. Host family (homestay)

2. Dormitory Program (9-12th only)

Both options support students academically and socially.

Many of the students partner with NACEL Open Door for homestay. Students wanting  a homestay can begin the application process by contacting NACEL Open Door.

Applications submitted to NACEL Open Door are then forwarded to TMP-Marian for review and approval. Other host family agencies are encouraged to contact Mr. Chad Meitner (meitnerc@tmpmarian.org) for information.

Those interested in the Dormitory Program should contact Principal Chad Meitner - meitnerc@tmpmarian.org or 785-625-6577. TMP-M partners with Fort Hays State University to provide dormitory room and board. More details on the dormitory facility can be found here.
