Marquette High School serves its mission as a private, co-educational high school representing the Catholic Church within the Diocese of Gary.  The school extends to students of all faiths the principles of Christian living and seeks to develop in students a faith response to God and also an awareness of such ideals as truth and honor.  The school promotes academic excellence, creativity, and leadership development within each student.

Marquette builds its philosophy on the premise that a person, made in the image of God, is a citizen of two worlds - earth and heaven.  Each person is destined for God's kingdom as his final end, and it is in society that he develops and works toward this end.  He seeks to discover his own purpose in life and then works to fulfill that calling.  Everyone has an inalienable right to an education corresponding to his proper destiny and suited to his God-given talents and background.  However, this education must also pave the way to brotherly association and cooperation with other people, in the hope that genuine and lasting peace, unity, and prosperity may be attained on earth.
