Tuition Break
When You Refer a Friend

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 $250 credit toward your child's tuition at York Catholic.

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 $250 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. If the family you refer attends York Catholic through their first semester, your family's tuition will be credited $250, spread into 4 credits applied to the months of February, March, April, and May.

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!

The Parent Referral Program is open to all parents of current York Catholic students. The tuition credit is not available for referring your own children. The $250 credit is only good toward tuition on a student's account; no cash is given, and it is non-transferrable. A referred student applies only to a new student from a non-partner school.

Marching Band Auditions

Any student who is registered for the 2020-2021 school year at York Catholic, is a musician, dancer, or interested in color guard, should sign up for Marching Band! The seriousness of COVID-19 prevents us from holding auditions in person this year, so we've made adjustments to allow for auditions through recordings and still maintain our rehearsal schedule.

YC students who are instrumentalists need to play at least at an intermediate level. Students who are new to York Catholic need to send an audition recording. The audition recording must include the student playing two different scales of their choice and a selection from a private lesson piece or concert piece.

New YC students who wish to join the color guard must audition. Auditions will take place when we can all be back together.

Click here to sign-up for Marching Band and Color Guard and for more details about auditions. The deadline for submitting audition videos is Friday, May 22.

Cheerleading Tryouts

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, cheerleading tryouts will be held through video recordings this year. Any student who is registered for the 2020-2021 school year at York Catholic and is interested in fall cheerleading should email Ms. Hoffman at [email protected] for details. The deadline for submitting audition videos is Friday, June 5.
