Participation and Other Fees

2025-26 School Year

In an effort to simplify our tuition and fee structure, we are pleased to announce our transition to a comprehensive tuition policy which will eliminate participation fees for such areas as athletics, performing arts, retreats, graduation, and other select fees. 

Through consultation with our Advisory Board, the Diocese of Cleveland, and current parents who attended our information session, the consensus was clear – our participation fee process can be difficult for families to manage and discourages some students from getting involved at Lake Catholic High School. It is our intention, through this change, to simplify our total costs for families while encouraging student participation by removing many of the fees.

For those returning families whose students do not participate in any of the qualified activities, we will offer a one-time $250 credit at the end of the 2025-26 school year. More information on receiving this credit, as well as answers to other questions can be found on the Participation and Other Fees page of the school website.

With the many scholarship opportunities available through the Diocese and Lake Catholic, in addition to the availability of Ohio's school choice scholarships, we are dedicated to making a Catholic education as accessible as possible. However, we do recognize and appreciate the financial commitment that comes with providing your child a Lake Catholic education. Therefore, this updated tuition structure aims to simplify the financial process for you, ensuring your family can focus on what truly matters: your student’s academic, spiritual and social well-being.

We are grateful for your partnership and understanding as we work to create an enriching environment for our students. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns regarding this update.
