SPARTAN FOR A DAY
September 2024 - April 2025
Most Days, Tuesday - Friday
Become a Spartan for a Day
Prospective students in the eighth grade, as well as potential transfer students, are invited to participate in the Spartan for a Day (SFAD) program. Your student will be paired with a student host for nearly one full school day! Your student will receive a tour of the school, enjoy a complimentary lunch in our cafeteria, and attend classes with their host, all while experiencing the limitless opportunities that Saint Mark's High School has to offer. Students will also have the chance to meet one-on-one with one of our Admissions Office staff members to tell us about themselves and ask any questions they may have about our admissions process.

Schedule
This program is offered most Tuesdays through Fridays from September through April on the below dates from 7:45 a.m. to 2:10 p.m. Please select a date that works best for your student.
Each month's openings will be posted one month in advance. We host visitors most weeks from Tuesday - Friday. We ask that you arrange your student's visit at least one week in advance. We will send a reminder email with details to note for the day.
  • Please arrive at 7:45 a.m. at the Main Office entrance (between the flag poles).
  • Lunch will be provided for your student.
  • Arrange to pick up your student at 2:10 p.m. at the Main Office entrance.
Choosing a Host
We understand that prospective families often know a current Spartan that could host their student. You are welcome to enter the current student's name during registration. Please note that we do prefer our SFAD guests to have a freshman or sophomore student host them. We do our best to honor host requests; however, there are circumstances where a host may not be available due to scheduling conflicts, academic commitments, etc. If you do not know a current student, please enter any general requests for what type of student host you would like (i.e., involved in student council, takes AP courses, on the softball team, part of the theatre program, etc.).
Dress Code
Visiting students are asked to dress in khaki or dress pants for boys and girls, or an appropriate dress or skirt for girls. Please wear a polo or dress shirt/blouse and shoes - no sandals or open shoes please. If your student attends a school with a uniform, they are welcome to wear that uniform for their visit. If there is a school-wide 'Spartan Strong Dress-Down Day', guests are welcome to participate and we will provide dress code details in the reminder email.
