admission information

  Welcome

Lansing Catholic Central High School reserves the right to accept or reject any student for academic, disciplinary, social or psychological reasons. Successful completion of the eighth grade is a requirement for admission. Students from special schools, or with special needs, will be considered on an individual basis, and may be admitted, after a careful study of relevant information, at the sole discretion of the administration. A priority of our school is to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment, which is conducive to the fulfillment of the mission and values of our school. No student who, in the sole determination of the school administration, poses a risk to the safety of other students or to the spiritual, educational or social environment of the school, will be admitted or allowed to remain in attendance.

Registration - Transfer Students

          Students interested in transferring to Lansing Catholic Central High School are encouraged to apply for admission.  Students should enroll within the first week of any academic quarter, but exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the school administration.  Decisions regarding admission are made following a review of the student's full academic, attendance, and disciplinary record from their previous school.  This includes appropriate credentials (transcript of credits and/or report cards).  Falsification or withholding of documents, records, etc., and/or concealment of serious problems are grounds for immediate dismissal.  Lansing Catholic Central High School, at its sole discretion, may require recommendations or information as a condition for admission, including reports from school administrators or counselors, social service providers, physicians, or legal authorities.  Admission of transfer students is subject to an entrance interview with the student and the student's family by the principal, or his designee, and is also subject to the approval of the Principal.

          Lansing Catholic Central High School shall not admit any student expelled from any school, pursuant to P.A. #328 (pertaining to weapons possession, rape and arson), and shall refuse admission to any student who has committed a weapons offense or an assault (including sexual assault), or who has delivered controlled substances.  A criminal conviction or juvenile adjudication confirms that an offense has occurred, but Lansing Catholic Central High School is not limited to formal convictions or adjudication in determining whether an offense has occurred. 

          As a general rule, Lansing Catholic Central High School will not admit any student who has been expelled from any other school, or who has committed criminal acts, including the use or possession of controlled substances.  The school administration reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to review and consider any circumstances which might support admission, and may impose appropriate conditions in concert with admission.

          All admitted transfer students are placed on probation for one year.  Probation includes monitoring of the student by school counselors, and may require the student to execute and comply with a behavioral contract and treatment and reports from school service providers.
