Tuition Assistance
Central Catholic High School has established a tradition of scholastic and personal achievement that is second-to-none among secondary schools. We understand that the cost of an excellent program is significant, and we are committed to making this experience available for all students, regardless of their ability to pay. Candidates for admission are considered solely on the merits of their academic ability and character, and the need for financial aid has no bearing on admission. To apply for financial aid, go to the Financial Assistance page for additional information and to complete the online FACTS Grant & Aid online application.
