The school reflects the philosophy of the Catholic Church as it pertains to education.

Q: Do you accept transfer students?

Yes, if space is available, transfer students will be considered for admission into Frassati Catholic High School. A transfer applicant is defined as a student who intends to leave his or her current school to enter Frassati Catholic at the start of his or her sophomore or junior year. Transfers from local high schools are not admitted for the senior year. Only students transferring from Catholic schools outside the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston are admitted as seniors.

Students should be familiar with the  mission of Frassati Catholic and be in good academic standing at their previous institution. If a student has taken the PSAT or another standardized test (approval required), those scores may be considered as part of the application instead of the entrance exam (HSPT). 

It is recommended that families contact the Admissions Office before submitting an application.
