Fund for Central Catholic
Through the Fund for Central Catholic, CCHS is able to fulfill its commitment to making an outstanding Catholic education affordable and accessible to every student who seeks it. The actual cost of educating a young man or woman for the year is $3060 more than the affiliated tuition charged. Contributions to the Fund for Central Catholic help make up the difference and represent the generosity of the entire CCHS community. In addition to providing tuition support, these monies help meet the ongoing expenses of operating and maintaining the high school.
