Admissions

Your first step to becoming a Faithful Man of Monsignor Farrell begins with registering for the TACHS Exam (Test for Admissions into Catholic High School). 

TACHS registration can be found at tachsinfo.com

Remember, when registering for the TACHS Exam, students must select #FarrellFirst or second to be considered for admission into Monsignor Farrell High School. 

Use Code 116 on the TACHS registration to select Monsignor Farrell High School as your first or second choice. We also will review all 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade scores alongside the TACHS exam scores. Please note, as part of our admission standards we do not accept students who select Monsignor Farrell as their third choice.


TACHS Applicant Record

Public and Private School Students

Public and Private school 8th-grade boys must ensure their applicant records are sent to their three high school choices.  Applicant records must be filled out completely by the student’s middle school and include all 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade grades along with standardized test scores. Applicant records cannot be filled out by a student or parent. To download the applicant record form, please click the link below. All applicant records must be stamped by the students’ middle school. Public school guidance counselors, staff, or families can email these applicant records.


Catholic School Students

Students in Catholic schools will have their applicant records automatically sent to their choices.

The TACHS applicant record can be submitted after the first quarter report cards are given to 8th graders. They can be emailed to our admissions department.

All applicant records can be emailed to admissions, or mailed to Monsignor Farrell High School, 2900 Amboy Road, Staten Island NY 10306.

There are no special applications, scholarship exams, essays, or recommendations required.
