Key Admission Dates

Join our admissions team and student ambassadors for a Fire Family Visit, an opportunity to learn about Holy Family in a small group information session. After a Fire Family Visit, we recommend scheduling a student shadow day-a one-on-one school day experience.

Incoming ninth grade students who submit an Application for Admission by December 1 will have their $200 application fee waived. Early application is required for scholarship and tuition assistance consideration.

Placement tests for prospective ninth grade students will be administered at 8:00 a.m. This is not an entrance exam; it is a test that allows HFCHS to place students in course levels where they can experience success. Students should plan on arriving by 7:50 a.m.  A calculator is not required for this test. Pencils and snacks are provided by Holy Family. 

An additional Math Placement Test is given at the beginning of June for final placement assessment for math courses beyond Algebra 1.

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 January 21 will be given priority consideration. Requests for financial aid may be made after the priority deadline.

Tuition assistance is awarded to families qualifying for tuition assistance. Families will be mailed notification letters with one copy to be returned to the school as an addendum to the tuition contract and one copy to retain for their own personal records. Families applying after the January priority deadline will be contacted regarding financial aid awards as soon as possible, but can expect that it may be at a date later than the priority deadline recipients.

Advice will be offered regarding class selection, getting involved at HF, and students will register for their ninth-grade classes. The non-refundable registration fee is $300 and is applied as a credit for your first tuition payment. Incoming ninth-grade students registering on this night will be guaranteed their choices of elective classes. Students may continue to register for classes throughout the school year and summer months; however, elective options may fill and be unavailable. 

Accept scholarships and tuition assistance offers by completing your tuition agreement by March 4. Students without completed agreements on file may be placed in the wait pool for enrollment.
