What is the school's policy concerning enrollment fee refund?

Central Catholic regards the payment of an enrollment fee as the commitment to attend Central Catholic High School. We use this commitment to plan for staffing and other key resource needs. Therefore, it is the policy of Central Catholic to not refund any portion of the registration fee.

If a freshman family provides their own laptop/tablet is there a discount to tuition?

No. Central Catholic requires all freshmen to purchase and use a school-issued tablet. We obtain the laptops  by other financial means that do not include tuition, so there is no option to "opt out."
