Continuous Enrollment

40 Years Strong

As we enter our 40th year at St. Theresa Catholic School, we are grateful for the faith-filled partnership we share with our families. Forty years strong, STCS remains committed to making your ongoing enrollment experience simple and seamless.

St. Theresa Catholic School uses Continuous Enrollment, which means your student is automatically re-enrolled for the following school year unless you notify the school otherwise.

For Families Returning in 2026–27

Verify Your Contact Information

Please verify and update your email address, phone number, home address, and parish in the FACTS Family Portal under the Family tab. Accurate information ensures you receive all school communications.

Automatic Re-Enrollment

Your student(s) will be automatically enrolled for the 2026–27 school year. No action is required.  A $500 re-enrollment fee per family will be billed in February. The emailed bill is a notification that funds will be drawn 10 days later. This secures your child’s spot for the upcoming school year.

Sibling Discounts (2026–27)

Sibling discounts apply to each enrolled child after the first:

• Second child: 5%

• Third child: 10%

• Fourth child and beyond: 100%

Sibling discounts are applied after scholarship awards. No scholarships or new student fee waivers are awarded for the fourth child and beyond.

Saints Louis and Zélie Martin Scholarship

Applications are now open for the 2026–2027 Saints Louis and Zélie Martin Scholarship, which offers awards from $200–$1,500 per student. This scholarship honors the parents of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and their example of fostering faith in family life.  You must apply every year and is non-needs-based.
