Tuition & Financial aid

2024-2025 Tuition Fee Schedule

​It has been a long standing tradition at Holy Cross School to do our best to make Catholic education affordable for all. Holy Cross Parish collaborates with St. Patrick and St. Mary to provide the financial resources needed to cover our operating expenses.

The current cost to educate one child at Holy Cross School is $8200. Every Catholic family in good standing, regardless of which parish they attend, is eligible to receive the discounted rate of tuition published in the chart below. The pastor of your parish will be asked to verify that you are registered and participating in the life of the parish.

To bridge the gap created by the cost of education and the discounted rate of tuition for Catholics in good standing, St. Patrick and St. Mary families who choose to send their children to Holy Cross School, agree to provide an additional $1000 per child to assist Holy Cross Parish with the cost of education at Holy Cross School. Unaffiliated Catholic families and affiliated Catholic families from other parishes, will be charged the additional $1000 per child.
