About the Bridge the Gap Program
This program was adopted by the School Board in lieu of a greater increase in tuition. If you have children in Catholic High Schools, you will be familiar with the request to help bridge the monetary gap between fees charged and the full cost of educating your children.
Families who can afford to pay more of the full cost of educating their children are encouraged to make voluntary, tax-deductible donations in special envelopes.
This gap has historically been covered by a subsidy from the Parish. However, given declining enrollment (less tuition revenue), our School's need has risen to approximately $530,000 this year.
Please review the figures below, your family's budget, and determine how you can help.
Every donation of time, talent, and/or treasure, will make a difference.
Donations to Bridge the Gap are fully tax-deductible and in many cases qualify for employer matching.
