When families begin exploring high school options for their sons, there are plenty of factors to consider: academics, athletics, faith and values, friendships and preparation for the future. But for many, one question rises to the top: Can we afford it?
At Covington Catholic High School, the answer may surprise you.
For more than 100 years, Covington Catholic has remained committed to making an exceptional Catholic education accessible to families throughout the Northern Kentucky region. In fact, no family has ever been turned away solely because of financial circumstances. That commitment remains as strong today as ever.
A Growing Investment in Families
During the 2025–26 school year, Covington Catholic provided $610,000 in tuition assistance. This year, that number has grown to $816,000, benefiting 125 students, with an ambitious goal of providing $1 million in assistance for the 2027–28 school year.
These numbers reflect the school’s commitment to serving families from a wide range of backgrounds, united by a shared desire to provide their sons with an exceptional education.
“We understand that tuition is a significant investment for families, and we never want finances to be the reason a young man misses out on a Covington Catholic education. That commitment drives me to continually raise the bar — strengthening our programs, expanding opportunities and ensuring we are giving our students the very best experience today while preparing them for success long after graduation.” — Bob Rowe, Principal, Covington Catholic High School.
The message to prospective families is simple: Don’t assume a Covington Catholic education is out of reach before having a conversation.
An Investment That Pays Off
Affordability is only part of the equation. Equally important is the value of the education itself.
At Covington Catholic, the belief that He’s Worth It is more than a tagline. It drives the school’s commitment to excellence in educating young men spiritually, academically, physically and socially.
With 15 Advanced Placement courses, extensive dual-credit opportunities, nationally recognized STEM programs, competitive athletics, faith formation and a brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, Covington Catholic strives to provide an exceptional experience in all four pillars of its mission.
And that investment can deliver real financial benefits.
The average Covington Catholic student graduates having earned multiple college credits through AP and dual-credit courses, potentially reducing the cost of college. Strong academic preparation, including an average ACT score above 25, also helps students earn thousands of dollars in college scholarships.
The result is an education that not only prepares young men for college and life but can also help make the next chapter more affordable.
He’s Worth It. And We’re Committed to Making It Possible.
The four years of high school are about much more than earning a diploma. They’re about building the foundation for the man a young boy will become. At Covington Catholic, we believe every family who desires that opportunity should have the chance to pursue it.
Because he’s worth it.
