POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

A) Tuition will be paid according to the predetermined plan as agreed to by the parent/guardian.  For returning students, the plan from the previous year shall be in effect unless a change is requested in writing. 

B) Non-payment due to non-sufficient funds may result in a fee.

C) Enrollment at HLHS for any portion of a quarter (grading period) constitutes a quarter of tuition.

D) HLHS recognizes that occasionally circumstances make it impossible to make payments on a schedule.  At such a time, please contact the Executive Director to discuss    options.  HLHS seeks to work with families in a proactive manner when financial situations arise.

E) Students who do not have all tuition and fees paid in full by graduation will not be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies nor receive a diploma.

F) Students will be responsible for materials that are not returned (such as athletic uniforms or art supplies), damage to lockers or other school property, and for textbooks that must be replaced due to damage.

 

NON-PAYMENT

Services may be suspended or re-enrollment denied if payments are not kept current.  All tuition and fees from the previous school year must be paid in full before the student will be allowed to begin the next school year.

 

COST PER STUDENT

The cost to educate each student at HLHS exceeds $10,000 per student, so tuition and fees do not cover 50% of cost.  Each student actually receives a grant valued at over $5,000. Other income is realized through congregations, fundraisers, and  donations.  HLHS relies on volunteers, including parents, to help keep costs as low as possible.
