The school has added facilities and renovations over the decades, including a contemporary gym building in 1961, the Gordon Henke Center and Emmett J. and Martha Doerr Library in 1994, Quad Park in 1998, classroom and science room renovations in 2000 and 2003, and a major construction project with a two-story addition and new chapel in 2008. Classes in Summer EXPLORE! are taught by current faculty, staff, alumni, and coaches with the same excellence that is described as the hallmark of a Marquette High education. The school’s mission states that it is a Catholic, Jesuit, urban, college-preparatory school for young men and that it strives to form leaders who are religious, loving, seeking intellectual excellence, committed to justice, and open to growth, and it describes educating the whole person spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, artistically, morally, and physically. Marquette University High School was named a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education and is described as the top ranked Catholic high school in greater Milwaukee according to Niche.com. The leadership team includes Fr. Daniel Kennedy, SJ, as the 12th President of Marquette University High School and John Meuler as Director of Admissions.
