Admission Requirements/Financial Aid

Admissions

An applicant for the freshman, sophomore or junior year must have satisfactorily completed the eighth, ninth, or tenth grade or its equivalent. The applicant is accepted on the basis of their previous academic performance (grades and standardized test scores), recommendation of the Principal, promise of future development, and their desire to profit from the moral, spiritual, academic, and physical programs offered by Our Lady of the Hills. In some cases, a personal interview with the applicant and their parents is required. An application for admission must be completed and filed with the school. All applicants for admission must take the High School Placement Test as a requirement for admission. The test is given the first Saturday in January. OLH admits students without regard to race, creed, color, or national origin. As a general rule, no student will be allowed to repeat a grade level upon entering OLH.

Transfer Student Admission

Transfer students may be required to take an entrance examination. The applicant must have sent to the school an official transcript of credits from the high school last attended and a letter of recommendation from their previous school's principal and/or major teacher. As a general rule, no transfer student will be allowed to repeat a grade level upon entering OLH.

Financial Aid

Due to the generosity of a number of Our Lady of the Hills benefactors, the school is able to provide financial assistance to students who are unable to pay full tuition but who are otherwise eligible for admission.

Scholarship funds and foundations have been set up either by individuals or by families to provide scholarships for deserving students.

According to the terms of the scholarship fund, the primary requisite for granting either full or partial scholarships is financial inability to pay full tuition.

The scholarship (full or partial) is administered as follows:

  1. The student must be accepted to OLH.
  2. The parent or guardian should request from OLH the financial assistance application, which must be filed before April 30.
  3. The scholarship grant must be certified in writing by the Principal of OLH.
  4. The recipient of financial assistance must consent to accept a work assignment to compensate OLH, in whole or part, as a condition for assistance. Failure to complete this work assignment will result in the loss of the tuition payment.

Non-Discrimination Policy

Our Lady of the Hills Regional Catholic High School admits students of any race or national origin to programs and activities of the school with all rights and privileges. Equal opportunity and access is provided to persons without regard to race, national origin or gender in the implementation of employment policies and procedures.
