Incoming freshmen applicants are required to submit two essays as part of their admissions application.

We want to hear your story—written in your words. For this reason, we ask that you do not use generative AI tools to write your admissions essay.   We are not looking for perfect grammar, and your essays do not determine your admission at North Catholic.  We simply want to learn more about you through your writing.

Four essay topics are provided below.  Please select TWO and write your response in 400 words or less. 

Essay Topics – Please Select Two:

• In your opinion, what is the most important character trait a person can have? Please explain with personal experiences to back up your anwer.

• We are all influenced by the people in our lives.  Please write about an experience when someone has influenced you and how this influence has changed your life for the better.

• What is the best decision you’ve ever made?  Explain.

• Write about a challenge you’re facing right now—and what you plan to do to overcome it.

*Please note: While the application can be submitted online without the finished essays attached, the admissions application is not considered complete until your essays have been submitted to the Admissions Office.  Alternatively, we ask that you please submit your essays using this form or by emailing them directly to [email protected]

Please be sure to included your first and last name on your admissions essays.
