Tours provide families with the opportunity to visit the campus and observe a typical day in the life of St. Michael High School students. In addition to the general tour and overview, parents and their students are encouraged to ask questions about any aspect of St. Michael during the visit.
Families interested in attending a tour must schedule their visit in advance. The tours will last about an hour and are intended for small groups or individuals. To encourage questions and discussion tailored to the prospective student applicant, the number of attendees per tour is limited.
Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will open no later than October 1, 2024. Any inquiries for the 2024-25 school year should be directed to our Registrar, Mrs. Lori Steib (lsteib@smhsbr.org, ext.12).

Once you have submitted your student’s application to St. Michael, a link will be emailed to parents for reserving a time slot for the personal interview portion of the application process. The interview is an opportunity for your child to interact with an SMHS faculty or staff member and provides us an opportunity to get to know your student and learn about their interests. Interviews traditionally last approximately a ½ hour to 45 minutes and at least one parent is required to attend.
