Viking for a Day


“VIKING  FOR  A  DAY”

An important way to see if St. Elizabeth High School is the right school for you is to visit for a day.  In our “Viking For A Day” Program we pair interested eighth grade students with current Freshmen.  The visitor spends the entire day with us--going to classes, eating lunch, touring the campus, and participating in the day’s events.  If you would like to visit for the day, please contact our Director of Admissions, Mr. John Petruzzelli, at 302-656-3369 ext. 3039 or by email at
jpetro@viking.pvt.k12.de.us.

Questions…and Answers:

What day can I come to visit St. Elizabeth’s?

Eighth grade students can visit beginning in the first full week of September.  The program will continue through January.  We may restrict students from coming on days when we have special schedules or no academic classes.  Seventh grade students may visit during the spring of the second semester.

Where do I go on my visitation day? 

The St. Elizabeth school day is from 7:40 a.m. until 1:50 p.m.  

You should arrive at the school’s main entrance at 7:20 a.m.  Once you arrive, you should meet Mr. Petruzzelli, Director of Admissions, in front of the school auditorium.  If he is not there, he will have a student representative to meet you.   Upon your arrival, you will be introduced to your Freshman guide.

Your day will end at about 2:15 p.m.  Once classes end at 1:50 p.m. you will be asked to see Mr. Petruzzelli for a wrap-up interview and to complete a questionnaire on your experience. 

If you are not sure how to find the campus, you can click on our directions link on the St. Elizabeth website.  Please arrange a pick up location for your parents to meet you at the end of the day. 

What should I wear?

If you go to a Catholic grade school, students may wear their grade school uniform.  However, boys and girls can also follow the St. Elizabeth fall/spring dress code:

• Khaki or dress pants 
• collared or polo shirt 
• dress shoes

Should I bring anything with me?

Lunch will be provided for you so the only thing you really need to bring is your enthusiasm for the day!  You may also choose to bring a notebook and pen if you wish to jot down notes while you are on campus.

Can I choose my guide?

Yes, you may request a guide BUT the guide needs to be a Freshman.   If there is a particular interest that you have (e.g. choir or volleyball), we can match you up with a Freshman who participates in that activity or sport.
