Tuition only covers a percentage of the total operating cost of the school. Fundraising (like through the Lionheart Auction) and the generous donations from our faithful parishioners, parents, and alumni help to make up the difference. Every family must be committed to the philosophy, goals, and objectives of St. Mark School and to a level of involvement that promotes well-being of the school.

The following HSA run fundraising events can help offset the amount of the family commitment - Raffle ticket sales and Easter Candy Sale. For additional details and dates on these fundraisers, please see the HSA website - www.smkhsa399.com.

As a family, the fundraising commitment is outlined in the tuition agreement. Parents and guardians are also asked to give their time and talents and participate as a volunteer at school events, as a room parent, in the Home School Association, Sports Booster Club, or Holy Name Society. Parent participation also helps maintain the sense of community that makes Catholic education special, and provides an example to your child of your involvement and commitment to their future.

For questions regarding your Parent Commitment/ Tuition, please contact Megan Gallagher, Office Manager at 716-836-1191.
