Catholic Central High School has announced tuition for the 2026–2027 school year will be $16,750.

In recent years, the school has worked intentionally to keep annual tuition increases below the rate of inflation, reflecting its commitment to responsible stewardship and affordability for families. 

As planning continues for the future, school leadership remains focused on balancing fiscal responsibility with Catholic Central’s mission to provide an exceptional Catholic education grounded in the Basilian values of Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge.

The tuition adjustment allows the school to address rising operational costs while continuing to invest in the faculty, staff, programs, and student experiences that define the Catholic Central tradition.

Tuition supports the annual costs of educating and serving students and is not used to fund major capital projects. Initiatives such as the George and Mary Turek Hall of Science and the North Athletic Complex are made possible through the generosity of alumni and benefactors and are not funded by tuition. 

Catholic Central tuition remains inclusive of registration, books, and technology fees. The school also continues its strong commitment to accessibility through flexible payment plans and need-based financial aid. In the past year alone, more than $2 million in financial assistance was awarded to support Catholic Central families.

Catholic Central is grateful for the continued trust and partnership of its families. Your support makes it possible to sustain the school’s mission and strengthen the experience for current and future Shamrocks.
