WHY FUND-RAISING AND VOLUNTEERING?

Our Lady of Perpetual Help School operations are financed totally through the tuition and fees paid by parents combined with the fund-raising projects throughout the school year and the service hours of the parents (see the Service Hours Program (SHP). The cost to educate each student at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School exceeds $6,000 per year, and tuition and fees only cover a fraction of that cost.

Therefore, the fund-raising efforts and Service Hours Program (SHP) of the school community are essential to keep the school doors open. It is impossible to operate the school without the full cooperation of each family in honoring all of its financial obligations to the school in a timely manner. In addition, all efforts of the administration, faculty, and parents must continue to find further sources of support to keep the programs of the school in operation and up to date.

Each parent or guardian who enrolls a student or students in Our Lady of Perpetual Help School accepts and signs a Tuition Contract which constitutes an agreement to pay all tuition and fees and commits the family to the fund-raising options and service hours that they will accomplish during the school year.
