Becoming a part of the Family has never been easier, and we're here to guide you each step of the way!

Steps to Enroll

Step 1: Submit an Inquiry Form

Submitting an inquiry form connects you with our Holy Family enrollment management system. From there, you will be able to track your admission progress and see upcoming events and deadlines.

An admissions team member will reach out to you to answer any questions you may have, help you plan your visit to campus, and share information on the next steps in the enrollment process, including your log-in information.

Step 2: Visit Campus or Talk with Admissions Team Member

Step 3: Complete an Application for Admission

New Family: Using the log-in information provided to you by our admissions team, log in to your account. (If you don’t have an account, fill out the inquiry form in Step 1, and our admissions team will set you up with one.)

Current Family: Log into your Blackbaud account and select your incoming student from the “Children” dropdown.

Located on your Admissions Progress Checklist is a link to complete an application for admission.

Incoming ninth-grade applicants who meet the Early Application Deadline of December 1 will have their $200 application fees waived. All other students will incur a $200 application fee. While the Early Application Deadline is a financial benefit to the family, it is not a required deadline for enrollment. Students may continue to apply for enrollment throughout the school year and summer months.

The materials needed to complete your application submission (transcripts, admissions test, etc.) are detailed on your applicant checklist.

Step 4: Explore Scholarship and Tuition Assistance Options

In addition to need-based tuition assistance granted through our financial aid program, Holy Family Catholic High School is proud to offer scholarships that recognize students’ leadership, volunteerism, academic achievement and involvement in (non-athletic) extracurricular programs.

We strongly encourage families to apply for variable tuition rates and scholarships as soon as possible.

Step 5: Register for Classes

Course registration for incoming ninth-grade students takes place in February. An informational program begins at 6:00 PM, and staff will be available following that program to assist with questions or guidance. During these evenings, placement test scores will be distributed to all incoming ninth-grade students, who will then register for their desired classes. Ninth-grade students are required to submit a $300 class registration fee. Registration is not considered complete until a tuition contract is on file for the student. Students may continue to register for classes after the registration evening, but it is recommended that students complete their registration as close to that date as possible.

Transfer students will meet with our Assistant Principal of Academic Affairs to discuss credit transfer and course registration.

Step 6: Accept Your Tuition Agreement

Final Acceptance

A Holy Family Catholic High School education is guided by its Catholic and Lasallian tradition of providing a welcoming, student-centered environment in which young people encounter opportunities to grow spiritually, morally, intellectually, and physically within a community of faith.

Holy Family faculty and staff are committed to the development of each student’s potential. We also recognize our programs do not support every need. Admission may be declined for reasons pertaining, but not limited, to academic, behavioral, emotional, or attitudinal considerations Holy Family is unable to serve. Such administrative decisions are final.

Non-discrimination Policy: Holy Family admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Wait List Information

Holy Family Catholic High School is dedicated to the individualized attention and care for the unique needs of our students as we strive to support their academic, physical, emotional, and spiritual development. To that end, enrollment limits are established for each class/grade to support positive experiences and outcomes for both students and their families.

When enrollment limits have been reached, new applications for admission to the school are placed into a Wait Pool. In the event that an opening becomes available with respect to a specific grade, HFCHS will evaluate the relevant applications of the Wait Pool and determine an offer of admission.

What is the difference between a wait pool and a wait list?

What are the evaluation criteria used for offers of admission?

The family’s commitment to a four-year education at Holy Family.
The family has another student currently enrolled at Holy Family.
The family has had prior students (now alumni) who attended Holy Family.
The family has another student currently enrolled at a local Catholic elementary school.

In the event that no Wait Pool applications meet these criteria, Holy Family reserves the right to offer admission to the Wait Pool applicants it feels will best complement the class/grade to which they are seeking admission. Holy Family will not consider race, gender, religious affiliation, or financial need as factors in its Wait Pool discernment and admission process.
