Our Diocese of Dallas Catholic Schools saw an overall increase in inquiries, tours, and enrollment, and our number of total students across our schools is up.
What's even more exciting is that on top of that growth, our five pilot schools added 139 new students who have not tried Catholic education before - resulting in an average of more than 18% increased enrollment at HALO 139 schools! There is something special happening around Catholic education in Dallas - and it's a stark contrast to what is happening with other Catholic schools across the nation.
HALO 139 is different from tuition assistance funding that many of you support through the Bishop's Invitational and other means. Tuition assistance funding is awarded to existing families with financial need, while HALO 139 is an innovative marketing and new family enrollment program that has never been tried before.
