Annual Tuition
$10,000 Contributing Catholics (with subsidy card signed by the pastor of a Baldwin County parish or his designee, confirming the family is a contributing, tithing member of his parish). This rate is made possible by a generous subsidy from Baldwin County Catholic pastors and parishes who underwrite a portion of our operational costs.
$12,000 All others
Fees
$50 Application Fee (A one time, non-refundable fee due on line when student applies for the first time to St. Michael)
$250 Registration and Technology Fee (per student, a non-refundable annual fee due in January or upon acceptance, indicating a commitment to attend St. Michael the following year. This fee is due with the registration agreement and partly serves as the annual "technology" fee that pays for a lease for all students to have their personal technology device.)
$400 Capital Assessment fee (per family, a non-refundable fee to assist the school in paying down long term debt incurred in the original building of St. Michael Catholic High School)
$600 Comprehensive Fee (As much as possible, we've tried to include all fixed fees into one lump sum to help families budget. This fee covers all parking, graduation, Driver's Ed, classroom labs, gate passes for students to home athletic competitions, academic and fine arts events hosted by the school, and most course fees. See "other costs" below for what is not covered.)
Discounts:
$1,000 Second Child Subsidy (Families with multiple children enrolled in the high school receive a 1,000 discount for each additional child)
$200 Lump Sum Discount (Families opting to pay the full annual tuition in one lump sum receive a $200 discount off tuition
Half-Tuition Discount (Full time teachers and staff at St. Michael High School receive a 50% discount off tuition, whereas part time teachers and staff receive a proportional discount. This does not apply to fees.)

Other Costs
The costs of textbooks, digital media, uniforms, music equipment, school lunches, bus transportation, A.P. testing, entry fees to away games or AHSAA playoff games, and family passes for athletic, academic and fine arts events are not included in these published rates. We recognize the sacrifice families make to send their children to St. Michael and will do our best to keep these expenses as low as possible, as well as help families with need.
