Why does the school ask for donations when families pay tuition?   

Like most independent schools, Bishop McNamara utilizes philanthropy to help fund what it costs to provide an excellent Holy Cross education.

Our tuition remains among the most affordable of Catholic high schools in the DMV, and we want to keep a McNamara education within reach for as many families as possible.
