Transfer Process
Students transferring from other high schools are considered for enrollment on a case-by-case basis. Students wishing to transfer to Pius XI must submit a completed pre-admission form (available from Counseling Services), as well as transcripts and most recent report card from the current school. These materials are reviewed by both the director of guidance and dean of students, and the family is invited to interview with representatives from guidance and administrative departments. During the interview a determination is made for admittance. For information, contact
Sue Linski at (414) 290-8145.
