3 Application for Admission

Once you create your SpartanLink account, you can choose between the General Admission or the Freshman Honors Program Application. In order to complete the application, a Release of Records Form and two teacher recommendations must be submitted.

Release of Records:

  1. Catholic elementary school applicants should use the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Release of Records Authorization. This form will be given at your son our daughter's school and is due to them on November 1.
  2. Non-Catholic elementary school applicants should use the Roger Bacon Release of Records Form. This is available for download in your SpartanLink account.

Teacher Recommendation Forms:

  1. All applicants should enter the email addresses of two teachers (7th/8th grade math and 7th/8th grade language arts or social studies) in the Recommendation link on SpartanLink. Digital recommendation forms will be sent to the teachers you choose.

The Admissions Committee carefully reviews each applicant in choosing the best candidates for our school. Applications are due on Monday, November 21.

In addition, each student will be given a prompt to upload a personal statement. This year’s prompt for ninth grade admissions is:

As a Franciscan school, Roger Bacon High School’s motto is “In Holiness and Learning” because we are committed to developing the soul, mind, and heart of all students.
