How to Give
Did you know that tuition only covers roughly 80% of costs to operate Star of the Sea Catholic School each year?
It is essential for Star of the Sea to depend on this range of financial support, not only for the day to day operation, but to keep tuition affordable, offer tuition assistance, update the facility and continue program enhancement, from academics to technology to athletics.
We rely on the long tradition of generous giving and support from our Star of the Sea parents, alumni, grandparents, parishioners, community leaders and businesses, as well as our dedicated faculty and staff to supplement tuition and help to keep Star of the Sea leading the way to excellence.
