Admissions Overview

The road to college isn't easy...Let Regina help you.

A Letter from the Admissions Director...

Thank you for your interest in Regina High School.  Here, AT aaWithin this school, the four years of high school is an opportunity to growWithin this school, the four years of high school is an opportunity to growWithin this school, the four years of high school is an opportunity to growThe four years of high school at Regina is an opportunity for students to grow and mature into Christian women through structured surroundings, academic rigor, development of extracurricular talents, and growth of faith life within the Regina community.

Over the past 50 years, Regina High School has been educating the whole girl — mind, body and soul — for life’s future challenges. Regina provide students with the tools they need to succeed in college and beyond, the religious atmosphere to grow in faith and vision in the Franciscan Tradition and the dedication to keeping a safe and comfortable learning environment for students.

As Director of Admissions and a Regina graduate, I understand the importance of choosing the right high school. While studies have shown the positive effects attending a single-sex school has on women, Regina High School also believes in empowering young women to take on leadership roles as Presidents of their classes and Captains of their sports teams. This fosters a spirit of sisterhood where students are invited to take risks, try new things, and discover where their strengths and passions lie. "When girls go to single-sex schools, they stop being the audience and become the players." (statement made by Professors Myra and David Sadker of the American University)

The Application Process

In order to ensure a prompt admissions decision, the following items are required from 8th graders interested in enrolling at Regina High School:

• Application for Admission. This form is given to all freshman applicants at elementary school visits, and to those taking the High School Placement Test. You may also download the PDF file to your right which says APPLY NOW.
• Archdiocese of Detroit Student Profile. The Student Profile form is given to all students take the High School Placement Test. After a parent signs the release, both forms are submitted to the current 8th grade teacher or counselor. The school will return the Student Profile form, report cards, and standardized test scores directly to Regina High School. You may also download the PDF file titled Student Profile to your right.
• High School Placement Test (HSPT). This test is administered at Regina High School. Students need to bring #2 pencils and report to the school's main entrance by 7:45 a.m. to begin testing by 8:00 a.m. The test lasts approximately three and a half hours. On testing morning, students complete two choice cards indicating which high schools should receive their test scores. When making admissions decisions, Regina High School gives preference to first choice applicants and then considers second choice applicants if spaces exists in the class. Students may take the HSPT one time only during their eighth grade year. Please call 586-585-0500 ext. 222 for more information.
