Overview:

Nolan Catholic is an educational ministry of the Diocese of Fort Worth administered by the Society of Mary (Marianists). As a Marianist college preparatory school, Nolan Catholic is focused on educating the mind, forming the heart and creating community.

The Catholic environment of NCHS works in tandem with academics. Daily Mass sets the tone each day and theology classes carry the spiritual theme through the academic schedule. Community service requirements, retreat programs, liturgical celebrations and an active campus ministry work to build the faith formation of our students.

NCHS academics are complemented with well-balanced co-curricular and athletic programs as well as vigorous Fine Arts opportunities.

We instill in our students a passion for lifelong learning that comes from exposure to many types of topics, disciplines and methods of learning which promote critical thinking skills. Our curriculum enables our students to attend top universities. On average, 98 percent of graduates attend college. The Class of 2009 reported scholarship offers totaling more than $9.5 million, and included 10 National Merit Finalists.
