A note from Helias Catholic
President John Knight
Recently I had the pleasure of having lunch with a past parent of three Helias Catholic students. During the course of our conversation, the parent told me how well Helias Catholic prepared his children for college. He spoke of our school’s strong reputation of excellence in academics, athletics and co-curricular programs. We also spoke about the tremendous opportunity our community has to attend Helias Catholic at such a relatively low cost.
We are blessed at Helias Catholic to have generous donors who help us to keep our tuition as affordable as possible. Additionally, the school has dedicated tuition assistance funds available to help families who are experiencing financial difficulties.
Our Catholic faith calls us to be as generous as possible with all that we have. So many of us are blessed in ways large and small. When the blessing of being able to hold tuition at a very low rate was given to our community, it was the hope – and remains the hope – that those of us who can do so will make a return to the Lord by making an appropriate financial gift in support of Helias Catholic. One of the best ways to do that is by donating to The Foundation for the Benefit of Helias Catholic High School, which works independently on our school’s behalf to promote, expand and strengthen Helias Catholic’s long-term financial viability.
The actual cost to educate a student at Helias Catholic this year exceeds $11,000. Once again, tuition for the 2023-24 school year will remain at $3,000 for families who are active in local Catholic parishes that contribute toward students’ education. That means the majority of families at Helias Catholic are receiving a tremendous savings of more than $7,000!
We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of all who make a quality, Christ-centered education in Jefferson City an attainable reality by helping to make up that difference.
Should you find it in your heart and in your budget, I welcome any level of personal investment in Helias Catholic's vision of building a community of saints and scholars for Christ by making a gift to the school or to the foundation. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
My prayers and the prayers of the Helias Catholic faculty, staff and administration remain with you and your loved ones.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts — forever!
John Knight
Helias Catholic High School President
