Tuition Assistance Deadline
If you plan to apply for tuition assistance for the 2017-18 school year, please be sure to do so no later than April 15 Please click on the following documents for information and/or completion:
Parent Referral Program
If you know a friend, family member or anyone looking for a high-quality, Christ-centered education for their children who do not already attend a Catholic school, you could receive a $50 credit toward your child's tuition at York Catholic, with a chance to win a $500 credit.

Quick Links


York Catholic's Parent Referral Program is a win-win for everyone involved. Referred students receive an outstanding education from York Catholic, while parents of the referred families get peace of mind knowing their child is gaining so much more than just a top-notch education.  Families who refer someone who registers at York Catholic receive a $50 credit towards their child's tuition.
 
You, as parents, are our best ambassadors.   In order for the Parent Referral Program to be a success, we need information about individuals who may be interested in joining the York Catholic family. All you need to do is click here to fill out the form. During the registration process, if you are listed as the referring individual for a friend or other enrolling individual, we will credit your child 's account with $50.  In May, one family who referred someone who enrolled at YC will be randomly selected to win a $500 tuition credit.
 
It really is that simple. So go ahead. Please click on the link above and allow us the opportunity to do what we love - help to develop, nurture and encourage children so they may grow in faith, mind, and heart. Mail or email the form to us and we will take it from there!
 
Thank you for all you do for our school! 
Photography
York Catholic has an exclusive contract with Lifetouch as the photography company who provides and sells pictures of our students to our families.  The company donates a percentage of its sales back to York Catholic.  As such, teams and clubs associated with York Catholic are required to use this company for their photographic needs. 
 
It has come to our attention that third party photography companies have directly contacted our teams, clubs, and parent groups to offer their services.  Please be alerted that solicitations from companies other than Lifetouch that mention York Catholic teams or clubs are not endorsed by York Catholic and are operating independently. You are under no obligation to employ their services and permission cannot be granted to display a third party's photography items on the York Catholic campus. 
Values Matter
A gift to our Values Matter Annual Fund Campaign is a great way to show you care about York Catholic and our students.
 
Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund provide necessary operating monies, professional development funds, and support extracurricular activities at the school.
