HSPT
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati requires all 8th grade applicants to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT).
Students may take the test at any participating Catholic high school and indicate on the registration form three high schools in which to send your test scores. McNicholas High School is a testing site.
HSPT Registration
Students sign-up for the HSPT through the Archdiocese registration portal. Confirmation emails will be sent from Scholastic Testing Services (STS).
Registration for the HSPT opens August 1. Test registration fee is $30.
Accommodation Requests
Students requesting accommodations on the HSPT must indicate the request when registering, submit the accommodation plan to the testing site coordinator, and submit an approval form signed by your grade/middle school principal.
HSPT Prep Course
McNicholas is offering a practice test and a test prep course to help students prepare for the HSPT.
The course is full for fall 2023. Please contact the Admissions Office with questions.
Listen to our students explain why they feel so at home at McNicholas High School.
We love McNick! The sense of community, faith based education, collective leadership of the school, longevity of key teachers, and focus on communication in classes were the top reasons we chose to send our sons here.Suzette, parent of Class of '22 and '24
