FALCON FAMILY NEWS A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT DEAR FAMILIES: As the first anniversary of the stay-at-home orders and distance learning approaches, I find myself reflecting on the whirlwind of this past year. The school’s quick and smooth transition to Digital Learning Days last March was a true testament to our excellent teachers and robust technology program anchored by our iPad program and Schoology learning management system. Fast forward a year and that statement remains true to this day as our faculty and staff’s dedication to our students are unwavering in our HyFlex environment.
our fundraising efforts. We hope you will join us for our Auction and raise your virtual paddles in honor of our hometown of Sacramento on Saturday, March 20! All proceeds benefit tuition assistance, students and programs of Christian Brothers High School. Your ongoing support is critical to our mission.
We are grateful to now be able to offer free weekly on-campus COVID-19 testing for all students and employees in hopes of creating an environment that is as safe as possible for our school community. While it is tough to believe that life will return to how it was before, we continue to embrace the “new and improved normal.” And with the new testing opportunities and vaccines at work, we are filled with hope and optimism as we work toward providing more activities and events for our students.
Dr. Crystal LeRoy, Ed.D. President
Live Jesus in our hearts!
At Christian Brothers, we remain committed to providing quality education through the Lasallian Catholic tradition. The continuous challenge we face is balancing mission-centered excellence with affordability and long-term sustainability. Recently, the Board of Trustees approved an increase in tuition and fees by 4 percent. Tuition for 2021-22 will be $14,550 and the registration fee $725 for a total of $15,275. Our tuition remains below the average for Catholic high schools in Northern California. We recognize that tuition is a significant sacrifice for many families. Please know that we remain committed to our Lasallian Catholic mission of serving the poor. In the 2020-21 school year, we are distributing $3 million in need-based tuition assistance to 450 students – more than one-third of our student body. We expect these numbers to be similar in 2021-22. Tuition assistance comes from three sources: endowment earnings, fundraising and the operating budget. We are grateful to all our parents, alumni and friends for supporting
