Marquette Academy as Your Community Partner

Marquette’s strong roots of providing quality Catholic education date all the way back to 1859.

Since then, the mission to create a learning environment that promotes academic excellence and growth through faith-based learning has only continued to grow stronger.

Beyond the dedication to lifelong learning and leadership, Marquette Academy continually strives to be a willing and compassionate partner in the community. This endeavor is accomplished through various philanthropies, outreach programs, and different ways to continue giving back. Here are a few examples.

  • The Marquette High School volleyball team regularly volunteers with the Ottawa Volleytots team, and several players also volunteer with the local YMCA rec league as referees and coaches. This is part of the effort to promote wellness and health through local athletics programs.
  • The Key Club is a high school service group that is sponsored through the Kiwanis Club, and participates in an annual blood drove, the “Freezin for a Reezin” food drive, and other charitable functions.
  • Mrs. Thompson’s 8th grade class volunteers each year at Feed My Starving Children in Aurora.
  • Student ambassadors and the high school student council routinely assist with Open Houses and other school visits, as well as setting up all Homecoming and Catholic Schools Week activities, the Parent Appreciation mass and dinner, and other fundraisers.

These programs and events are just some of the ways that Marquette is proactive in teaching students the importance of giving back and partnering with our community. Through these volunteer actions in various capacities, we are honored to work with area organizations in many ways as an extension of our core values.

At Marquette, we believe there are always ways to get involved, stay active, and give back.
