Financial Policies

St. Bernard High School runs on a very tight budget. Payment of tuition and fees and meeting financial obligations cannot be taken lightly. Failure to pay tuition and fees on time jeopardizes the program for all students and faculty. Parents and guardians are requested to be faithful in making all payments on time, and in the rare case that this is not possible, inform the school immediately and await further advice or make a mutually acceptable arrangement. Tuition is due on dates as published.


Withdrawal / Dropout / Financial Obligations

The name of any student who is a minor that drops out of school for any reason is reported to the County Superintendent of Schools. Whenever a pupil transfers from St. Bernard to a school district within the state, St. Bernard shall transfer the pupil’s permanent enrollment and scholarship record or a copy thereof upon a request from the district or private school where the pupil intends to enroll. The school reserves the right to withhold a diploma, final transcripts or disallow the taking of quarter or final exams until the financial obligations of the pupil have been met.


Catholic Tuition Rate


There is a difference in tuition for Catholics and Non-Catholics because the Archdiocese subsidizes the tuition of its Catholic students through receipts collected at Mass. For students to be eligible for the Catholic tuition rate, they must have an original copy of the student’s Baptism certificate with parish seal on file in the school office.


Delinquent Tuition


  1. Tuition and fees are due as published each month. A late fee is charged for all outstanding balances each month.

  2. If tuition or fees are more than one month in arrears, the school reserves the right to suspend the student from school and/or withhold the student’s privilege to attend any bid dance including homecoming, winter formal, senior prom, etc.

  3. If tuition is two months in arrears the student may be asked to withdraw and the delinquent account may be referred to a collection agency.

  4. All past due fees and mandatory fundraising will be added to the tuition account.

  5. Students are not allowed to take quarter and semester finals unless tuition payments, fundraising, service hours, and all fees are current. Graduation gowns, yearbooks, transcripts, diplomas and grades may be withheld pending financial clearance.

  6. A student will not be allowed to return to school in the fall if there is an outstanding balance of any amount from previous year(s).


Refunds


The annual registration fee is non-refundable. If a student withdraws at any time during a month, that month’s tuition, including all previous monthly tuition payments, is non-refundable. If a student withdraws at the end of the first semester, half of the annual tuition will be charged, as well as half of parent volunteer fees and the full amount of any other fees that were due during the semester. If a student pays a fee to participate in or attend an extra-curricular event and then is unable to attend due to personal, health, academic, or disciplinary reasons, no refund of the fee will be made.
