Update: July 15, 2020

Roger Bacon has received notice from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati that the Archdiocesan High School Entrance and Placement Test used by all Catholic high schools in Cincinnati will be waived for the 2020-2021 academic year due to Covid-19. This is an Archdiocese-wide decision - the test will not be given to any 8th-grade students or utilized by any high schools this year.

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 download the Math Teacher Recommendation Form and the English/Social Studies Teacher Recommendation Form from your SpartanLink account and give to your selected teacher by Monday, November 23. Recommendations are due to Roger Bacon High School by Friday, December 4.
