For most students, the admissions process to St. Michael the Archangel will begin during their 8th-grade year. Rather than use an application process, we accompany families through an admissions process outlined below. This process will help establish a smooth transition for families into our community from start to finish.
Please contact Director of Admissions, Colin Karr, at ckarr@smacatholic.org for assistance at any point in the enrollment process.
St. Michael the Archangel Catholic High School is proud to offer several opportunities to experience the Guardian Difference. It is important that prospective families establish a relationship with SMA to ensure a smooth transition from middle school to high school. See below for a list of suggested opportunities to see our school and experience life as a Guardian!

St. Michael the Archangel uses the High School Placement Test to place current eighth-grade students in the most appropriate class for the 2019-2020 school year.
Students who took the Placement Test at SMA received their scores during 8th Grade Registration Night on February 26 by the SMA administration with course recommendations for the 2019-2020 freshman school year.
Students will not be denied admittance based on test results.
Families also need to send a completed Records Release Form (download HERE) to ckarr@smacatholic.org.
If you were unable to take the Placement Test with SMA, you must contact Colin Karr at ckarr@smacatholic.org before proceeding.
Once we have received your student's Placement Test results and/or your student's records from their current school you can expect a phone call from Director of Admissions, Colin Karr, regarding acceptance.
Families who took the Placement Test with SMA should expect their student's Acceptance Packet in the mail.
Assuming acceptance, you may register your student at smacatholic.org/register. Your student will be considered registered once this form has been submitted alongside the $350 registration fee.
If your student took the High School Placement Test with SMA, you should expect your Acceptance Packet with Placement Test and our Course Recommendations in the mail. If you have not received them by February 8, please contact Colin Karr at ckarr@smacatholic.org.
After receiving SMA's class suggestions, the next step will include setting up your family's PowerSchool account, our student-tracking system. For assistance with the PowerSchool account creation and subsequent course enrollment, please visit smacatholic.org/counselors-corner and call our registrar (816.763.4800).
Families who are unable to attend Registration Night or whose student did not the High School Placement Test with SMA will need to schedule an admissions conference with the Director of Admissions, Colin Karr, at ckarr@smacatholic.org.
