WE SERVED 7 STUDENTS IN GRADES 9-12, PROVIDING A RELIGIOUS BASED HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION WITH A FOCUS ON CATHOLIC BASED PRINCIPLES, SPECIFICALLY BUILDING ON GROWING ACTIVE DISCIPLES of JESUS CHRIST. THIS FULFILLS OUR MISSION WHICH IS: to PROVIDE A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION ROOTED IN THE VALUES of CATHOLIC TRADITION IN ORDER to ASSIST PARENTS IN FORMING THE MINDS and WILLS of THEIR CHILDREN IN ACCORDANCE WITH DIVINE LAW and THE TEACHINGS of JESUS CHRIST. THE TEACHINGS of JESUS CHRIST ARE HELD IN THE DEPOSIT of FAITH, and AS SUCH WE WILL STRIVE to PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY to KNOW and UNDERSTAND THESE TEACHINGS WHICH CAN THEN BE REFLECTED IN THEIR SCHOOL STUDIES and ENVIRONMENT.

Money made simple

- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $12,600 for MICHELE MCFARLAND (TEACHER). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
