We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful community of friends, parents and others who volunteer their time and talents for the benefit of the school. Thanks to all those who have given in support and to those who are considering it! Click on the links below for information.
#GiveHiC Day
Our annual Give to Hi-C Day (#GiveHiC) has become a critical fundraising day for our school and a great way for us to focus community enthusiasm around a specific need.
This year, we invite you to join our Community of Helpers by helping us raise $30,000 in support of our steadfast commitment to creating a safe and welcoming environment at Highland Catholic School. At Hi-C, our teachers, staff, and families work together to create a space where every child is known, loved, and protected. Your generosity will help us continue that mission by funding important updates that strengthen our sense of safety and belonging — from refreshed signage and upgraded communication systems to enhanced security and volunteer support.
Make a gift today online and celebrate the helpers who make Highland Catholic safe, strong, and welcoming for all.
We are continuously amazed by the generosity and enthusiasm we receive from our community each #GiveHiC Day! Last year you helped us exceed our $30,000 giving goal by joining our Generosity Network and funding additional service retreats and enhancements to support the spiritual growth of our students. Our 2023 theme of Masterpiece Theater helped us raise $28,650 for enhancements to our literature arts curriculum while honoring Mr. Ken Backe’s 50th anniversary of teaching. Our 2022 theme of PE with Hi-C raised $22,563 and was used to further support the physical health of our students by funding new gym mats, sports equipment, and other fun and inclusive physical education needs at the school. Our 2021 theme of Stronger with STEM raised $35,481 to purchase new math and science textbooks for grades K-8.
Raise Right (formally SCRIP)
Ever wonder about the $50 Raise Right charge on your tuition statement? Scrip is a fundraising program for Highland Catholic School that raises about $20,000 each year for school operations. But that’s not all! You can earn your initial $50 payment back. Here’s how it works.
Highland Catholic purchases gift cards from local and national vendors at a discount ranging from 2%-20%. Then you buy these gift cards from Hi-C at full face value. The school keeps the difference.

Marathon for Non-Public Education
We launch our Marathon the opening week of school. We are all ready for some upbeat excitement, and friendly competition. Instead of our students walking a marathon, this year we will use their amazing energy and talents in a “Marathon of Service.” Each grade level will plan and incorporate age-appropriate service projects, which will be spread out throughout the school year. Our school wide goal is to raise at least $50,000. Once we receive that goal, ALL of our students will receive a t-shirt. If you would like to support Highland Catholic School through the Marathon effort, please send all marathon pledges and money to the school office. Make sure the envelope includes your name, and references the ‘Marathon’ on the envelope. You can also donate by clicking on the Donate button above. You can add a note for “Marathon” after selecting the PayPal or credit card option.
SWING
SWING is Highland Catholic School’s annual day of fundraising directly benefiting students, teachers and families. We gather as a strong community each spring to show our support for Highland Catholic School. The day consists of a family event, gala night, and online and live auctions. It’s a great opportunity for gathering with old friends, meeting new families and just having fun! It’s a labor of love by this remarkable, generous community, “for the kids.”
Home and School Fundraising
The Home and School Committee is composed of parents or guardians of Highland Catholic students, a faculty representative, and the school principal. The committee serves as the primary fundraising organization for the school, supporting initiatives such as the Christmas wreath sale, HiC Supper Club, teacher wish list items, and more. In addition to fundraising efforts, the Home and School Association sponsors periodic workshops and events that enrich and strengthen our school community.
