JANUARY 21: Placement Tests for prospective ninth graders will be administered at 8:00 am. This is not an entrance exam; it is a test that allows for HFCHS to place the student in a course level where they can experience success. For students with an enrollment application on file there is no charge. All other students will be charged a $25 fee for the Placement Exam, and students should plan on arriving by 7:50 am. Students do not need calculators for this exam. In order to avoid conflicting with family plans, this year's placement test has been intentionally moved off of Martin Luther King weekend.
LATE JANUARY: Registration Materials Distributed. All returning and transferring students entering grades 10, 11, and 12 will receive registration materials for the upcoming school year. Online class registration must be completed and submitted to the school along with a $150 registration fee by Monday, March 5. After March 5, the fee increases to $200.
FEBRUARY 1: Financial Aid Priority Deadline. Requests for financial aid should be made to HFCHS using TADS online service by this date. All Archdiocesan high schools are provided independent financial need analyses from the same service. The financial aid application must be completed and returned directly to the service with the appropriate documentation and application fee. Only one application per family is required. Applications submitted by March 1 will be given priority consideration. Requests for financial aid may be made after the priority deadline.
FEBRUARY 21 or FEBRUARY 23: Freshman Class Registration. Families may attend whichever evening fits their schedule best; both evenings begin promptly at 6:30 pm and there is no advantage to attending one session over the other.
