Accident Insurance
Student insurance is offered to all students. Every student
should be protected by some type of accident insurance. The
school does not carry insurance to cover student accidents.
This must be provided by parents either through family health
insurance or through this reasonable and especially designed
student accident insurance. Forms are given to the student
at the beginning of the school year. For the protection of
all involved, any student who is not covered by health or
school insurance, will not be permitted to participate in
any sports activity. A written statement of insurance coverage
is to be filed yearly in the school office.
Anti-Violence
The Catholic High School of Baltimore expects all students
to exhibit self-respect and respect for others in and around
school. Therefore, violence of any kind will not be tolerated.
Any student entering school or any school activity with a
weapon will be subject to expulsion per the Catholic High
Disciplinary Code. Any student who engages in verbal or physical
fighting on school premises, at a school activity, or while
in school uniform will be subject to suspension or expulsion.
Financial
Upon enrollment and annual registration at Catholic High,
parents are asked to indicate selection of a tuition payment
plan and to sign a promissory note for tuition and fees. Click here for a complete list of tuition, fees and payment plans.
Financial Aid is need-based. Contact the Business Office for a FACTS application at 410.732.6200 ext. 226. Families can also apply online at www.factstuitionaid.com. Applications are due to the FACTS Company in December for the following year.
General Financial Policies :
- If notice of withdrawal is not received by August 15,
tuition in full is an obligation.
- Checks returned for insufficient funds will carry a
$30 fee payable to the school. Cash or money order will
be required for all subsequent payments.
- Payments missed on Tuition Plans 1 will require
immediate enrollment in the FACTS payment plan for tuition
and fees outstanding.
- A bulk payment will be accepted at any time to reduce
monthly payments incurred under Plan 3.
- Tuition assistance will be credited on a monthly basis.
If a student transfers during the year, tuition assistance
will also be withdrawn and tuition owed will reflect full
payments without further tuition assistance. Students
must meet the criteria for tuition assistance each semester.
Please note: Tuition assistance must be applied for each
year.
- All tuition and fees must be current for students to
be admitted for the semester and to receive final course
grades. Attendance at proms, formal dances, and participation
in extracurricular events requires current payments. All
tuition and fees must be paid by April 20 for event
attendance after that date.
- Catholic High’s Business Office policy on the moving/holding of FACTS debits as of September 1, 2007 is as follows: We will, as a courtesy, move or delay two debits during the 11-month contract period. After that, there will be a $25 administrative fee charged by the Business Office to move or delay a debit. All requests for delays or movements must be received in writing, via e-mail or letter, no later than five business days before the debit is to take place.
The Catholic High School of Baltimore reserves the right
to refuse to provide any official school record, including
report cards and diploma to parent(s), student, or other
educational institution until all tuition, fees, and other
financial obligations to The Catholic High School of Baltimore
are satisfied in full. Re-registration and book purchasing
for the following academic year requires that tuition and
fees be current.
The Catholic High School of Baltimore reserves the right
to suspend a student for a period of up to five school days
if financial obligations, as agreed to in writing at the
time of registration, have not been met by parent(s) or
guardian(s). During the course of this suspension period,
it is the responsibility of the parent(s) or guardian(s)
to contact The Catholic High School of Baltimore and settle
the debt. This suspension may occur over an exam period
in either semester. Exams are ordinarily required to receive
credit for courses taken at The Catholic High School of
Baltimore. The student will be withdrawn if financial obligations
have not been met at the end of the five day suspension
period.
The Catholic High School of Baltimore will consider requests
for exceptions to this rule on an individual basis only
for extraordinary circumstances.
The Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees will aid
in the arbitration of cases upon request for exception.

Fundraising
All fundraising done at, or through school, must be submitted
to the Director of Institutional Advancement for pre-approval with final
authorization by the President. Ordinarily, fundraising to
benefit an individual is not permitted. Fundraising at Catholic
High is as follows:
Proceeds from fundraising that benefits the entire school
may be used for expenses absorbed by the operating funds
of the school. Proceeds from fundraising for specific groups
or activities will be attributed to the organization. The
school will expect reimbursement for costs incurred by an
event held on campus or for services of school personnel,
such as custodial or security. Clubs, School Organizations,
and Parent Organizations who wish to conduct fundraising
activities in the name of the school and using its tax-exempt
status need to submit fundraising plans in the spring
prior to the subsequent academic year. The plan
is to include event or program explanation, business plan
(expenses and profits), designated use of the monies raised
and contact person(s), and expected time frame for execution
of the fundraising activity. (Fundraising forms can be obtained
in the Office of Institutional Advancement).
Athletic Organization/Booster Club
Fundraising to directly benefit the athletic program is
planned yearly. All athletes are expected to participate.
The school determines the use of these funds in accordance
with the needs of the athletic department.
Parent Guild
Fundraising events are planned by the Parent Guild.
Monies raised help support the programs of this organization
and are directed to specific school projects that are not
part of the operating budget. The school determines the
use of these funds.
Scholarship
The school authorizes specific fundraising to be used for
student tuition assistance. Generally these funds support
current students whose families are faced with financial
emergencies.
