With high school right around the corner, 8th graders are invited to experience a day in the life of a current Gonzaga Prep student. Offered in the fall of 8th grade year (which is also when we open up our 9th grade application), we carefully match each student with a Bullpup who shares similar interests. 8th graders accompany students to all classes and lunch (provided by Gonzaga Prep at no additional cost).

FAQ's:

What time should I arrive and where do I go?
Gonzaga Prep is located at 1224 E. Euclid Ave. in Spokane; however our main entrance is off the N. Perry St. parking lot on the East side of campus. Parents should drop students off at the main entrance to the school by 7:50 am where they will check in with security. Parents should pick up shadowing students at 2:00 pm at the same place as drop-off. If needed, there are visitor parking spaces in front of the main school building.

What do I need to bring, and what should I wear?
Students may bring a water bottle if desired, and all visitors need to follow the Gonzaga Prep Dress Code.

What if my student has dietary restrictions?
We will provide small snacks, and students will get to go through the lunch line and select a complimentary entrée and side dish. While there is a variety of healthy options, our cafeteria may not be able to accommodate all dietary needs. You may bring your own snack and a sack lunch if you would prefer.

I'm currently a high school student. Can I attend a Shadow Day?
Absolutely! We welcome prospective transfer students to shadow a current Prep student for a full school day. Please contact Admissions to arrange a day that works for you.
