Mishawaka Marian High School is a Roman Catholic secondary school in Mishawaka, Indiana, operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. Marian is open to all qualified students regardless of race, religion, creed, color, or national origin.

Marian was recently a top 50 school noted on the Catholic High School Honor Roll. The Catholic High School Honor Roll recognizes schools that excel in the areas of academics, Catholic identity, and civic education.

Marian's mascot is "The Knights" and the school colors are royal blue, silver, and white.

Marian High School added its new gym, the Bishop Crowly Activity Center (BCAC), in 2001. The BCAC contains a full length gym, two basketball hoops, two classrooms, and an athletic office.

Marian High School holds a First Class commission from the Indiana State Department of Education and has been accreditated by the North Central Association since 1996. It should therefore be understood that Marian meets all the qualifications and standards set by the State and the Association.

At Marian, students develop spiritually, morally, academically, socially, and physically. Additionally, the rich athletic tradition has been an important part of the total development of outstanding men and women. Marian participates in 23 varsity sports. Athletics are kept in proper perspective, recognizing that a student-athlete is a student first and an athlete second.

Academic achievement is also a standard at Marian. With many ACP and Honors classes, it has been setting a high example for surrounding schools. At 94%, it has also been rated exemplary with over a 90% passing rate on the ISTEP Test. There are no other schools in the county to procure this status.
