MACS Priority Placement Priority Placement is given to students according to the following classifications, per admission round:

Siblings of current MACS students who are participating Catholics (apply in December)

Students of current MACS teachers

Participating Catholics of a parish in Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas

Participating Catholics of a parish outside of Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas

Siblings of non-participating Catholics and non-Catholics currently attending a MACS school

Non-participating Catholics and non-Catholics

In all cases involving Catholic students, their pastor must certify (with his signature on the enclosed Parish Participation Voucher) that they are participating Catholics in order to have priority placement and be eligible for the Catholic tuition rate. In order to be eligible for the participating parishioner tuition rate, Catholic families transferring into the Charlotte area may provide a letter from the pastor at their current parish stating that they are participating parishioners.

Additional Considerations Every effort will be made to assign your student to your choice school. In the event that your choice is unavailable, applicants will be contacted and asked to select a second or third choice school. If you do not wish to have a second or third choice school, your child will be placed on a waitlist for your first choice. Waitlists follow the MACS Priority Placement guidelines. All schools in the Diocese of Charlotte admit students of any race, color, sex, religion, national and ethnic origin to all the programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at these schools.
