55% of this class of 91 students earned over 8.1 million dollars in college scholarships. Some students received full tuition, room & board and some received full tuition. Many received multiple scholarships from universities, businesses, and non-profit organizations.
This class will contribute to our global society as 83% have chosen to continue their education after high school; 7% are entering the military, 5% are entering the workforce, and 5% are undecided.
This class shared 13,762 hours of service to the community volunteering with fire departments, police departments, hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes, food pantries, animal rescues, and community events.
The graduates of the Class of 2022 have left their mark on York Catholic High School and are now prepared and ready to make a difference in their community and the world. Our wish for this class is that they practice their Faith, expand their Mind, open their Heart, and honor their Family as the new alumni of York Catholic High School.
Congratulations Class of 2022!

Senior Chromebooks must be returned to the IT office in order to be deprovisioned. This process takes about 10 minutes and afterwards the Chromebooks will no longer be managed by York Catholic or able to access the wifi network at school.
Seniors may drop off Chromebooks beginning May 12 until May 19 and can be picked up the same day. All Chromebooks should be picked up by May 20 at the latest.
Once deprovisioned, students should use personal gmail accounts and not York Catholic emails accounts on their device. York Catholic email accounts will remain active for seniors until July 1, 2022. If any graduating senior does not plan to use his or her Chromebook in the future, it can be donated back to York Catholic by dropping it off in the main office during summer business hours of Monday-Thursday 8 AM-3 PM.

Graduation will be held Thursday, May 19, at 7 PM at York Catholic. Most Reverend Ronald W. Gainer, Bishop of the Diocese of Harrisburg, will confer diplomas. Tickets are required for Graduation and will be distributed to graduating seniors.

Final report cards for graduating seniors will be distributed at Graduation and will be available for viewing in Vision at that time. Seniors will be happy to know that no transcript release form is needed for final transcripts. We will automatically send your final transcript to the college you indicated on your senior survey (According to York Catholic School Board policy, final transcripts cannot be released until all books are returned and outstanding tuition and fees are paid in full). If you have changed your mind about your college selection, please notify us immediately.
The timetable for final transcripts is as follows...since this is your permanent high school document moving forward, each senior final transcript is reviewed for accuracy with all elements. The Academic/Studies Office is working on this task at this time. The final transcripts will be submitted electronically through either Common Application, SCOIR, or directly to your college’s Admissions Office via email. The method will depend on your application process with the college you are attending. It will take some time to submit all of the transcripts, but we anticipate the process will be complete by June 17 for seniors who completed all academic requirements by May 17, 2022. Mr. Rouse will be submitting the final transcripts individually to each college. Athlete transcripts for Division I and Division II schools will also be uploaded by Friday, June 17, to the NCAA website.

Flynn O'Hara is the company who handles our uniform needs. To better serve you, they will be hosting two uniform measuring events at York Catholic on Wednesday, June 22, and Wednesday, July 20, from 3-7 PM. This will save you a trip to the Harrisburg store. Orders will then be shipped to your homes. In order to best serve you, please sign up for a time slot for your child's fitting by clicking the button below.
We have a few changes to the uniform policy for next year:
- White socks will no longer be permitted for girls. Dark green, navy blue, or black socks – solid – calf length or knee high are permitted. Girls may wear solid, opaque, dark green, navy blue, or black tights with no pattern or design in place of knee high socks.
- Because all of the classrooms will be climate controlled, sweaters will now be an optional uniform choice. Please note that only school sweaters will be allowed to be worn during the school day if students are cold. No sweatshirts, coats, blankets, etc. will be allowed.
- Polo shirts and sweaters will have the new YC logo embroidered on them. Sweaters and polos with the old logo will be grandfathered for the 2022-23 school year with the new logo being required for the 2023-24 school year.

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 below 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 box below 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.
Thank you for all you do for our school!

We are just a week away from our Middle School renovations beginning! These much needed updates to our 26,000 square foot York Catholic Middle School (old Brady Science Hall) will include: 19 beautifully updated Middle School classrooms, one large group instruction room with a folding partition, two offices, additional lockers, and new restrooms. Air-conditioning will be installed throughout, as well as a new roof. Along with the Middle School renovations, York Catholic will be installing a new press box and stadium bleachers that will seat 1,000 this summer. The relocation of the Grotto and creation of a Rosary Walk will begin next summer (2023).
$250,000 in Marching Funds Available...We Need Your Support!
We have received a $250,000 anonymous matching grant representing 25% per dollar to help York Catholic meet the final $1 million of our Capital Campaign. In order to secure these funds we need your support by December 2022! There are many ways you can give to the campaign including a one-time gift or a pledge over multiple years. There is also the opportunity for several naming opportunities, including the Rosary Walk and bleachers, offered to recognize the generosity of donors. Click the button below for more information.
