2025-2026 APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
O'Hara Student Enrollment and Consideration Guidelines
At O’Hara Catholic School, our primary goal is to foster a learning environment rooted in Catholic values. We welcome applications from all families who share our mission and are committed to our values. Enrollment decisions are made based on the alignment of applicants with our Catholic mission and the availability of space. Please note that acceptance is not guaranteed and is ultimately at the sole decision of the school administration and the pastor.
Re-Enrollment for Returning O'Hara Students
All current O’Hara students are required to re-register each January to secure their spot for the following school year. While we prioritize returning students, re-enrollment is always evaluated based on the family’s alignment with the school’s mission and values and available space.
Priority of New Applicants
After the re-registration period for current students is completed, enrollment will be opened to new applicants, following these considerations:
- Siblings of Current O'Hara Students: Applications for siblings of currently enrolled students will be accepted between November and December. Enrollment is not guaranteed for siblings.
- Practicing Catholic Families
- All Other Families
Applications for new families will be accepted starting in November and collected through the new school year. There is a non-refundable application fee of $22 per submission. If you are interested in applying, please click here for more information and access to the application form.
After all available spots have been filled, we will accept applications for our waitlist. Families who submit completed applications will be contacted if spaces become available. Please note that placement on the waitlist does not guarantee future enrollment.
