The Scholarship & High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a requirement of the admissions application for Camden Catholic High School, it is for 8th Graders only. Scores are used to both determine scholarship awards and to place students in the appropriate classes.

Take the Scholarship and High School Placement Test (HSPT) on Saturday, October 25, 2025 for placement into 9th grade. We will accept test scores from other high schools for placement; however, we cannot request these test scores. The family must request these scores to be sent to Camden Catholic. *If you wish to be considered for a Merit Scholarship, the student must take the test at one of the Camden Diocesan High Schools (CCHS, GC, PVI) on Saturday, October 25, 2025 and select Camden Catholic to receive the scores. Students who take the test as part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia testing co-op may also be considered for Merit Scholarships, BUT they must forward their scores to CCHS as well as complete all other steps in the application process. We will not automatically receive score reports from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. For any questions regarding the HSPT or to be added to our winter or spring HSPT dates, please email Gerry Luke at gerry.luke@camdencatholic.org.
