| Marist Red & White Stadium Project - Phase I
An alumnus once said, “Redskin or RedHawk, we all bleed Marist red.” Nowhere is that feeling more visceral than on the field at Marist High School. Whether it was 1963 or 1986 or 2010, the field at Marist was and is a symbol of tradition and spirit, and as Marist continues its mission to provide excellence in every area of school life, The Stadium Project is now the next step in that journey.
Unpredictable weather
conditions create uneven and difficult footing for athletes. Protecting
the playing surface for optimal use prevents football practice, band
rehearsal, and the many community and school events that could be held
on it. The creation of a stadium for which could be otherwise utilized
includes the installation of an artificial playing surface, while a
significant undertaking, is crucial to the maintenance and improvement
of the school's impressive campus.
