Parish Assessments

Tuition Agreements for the SY25-26 include a Parish Assessment reduction of $400. In September, Catholic Parishes were provided with a letter and list of students who communicated in their enrollment that they are associated with that Parish.  

A Parish may choose to not pay for a student on the list. In that case, a $400 Parish Assessment charge will be added to the Student’s FACTS account as soon as we are notified by the Parish. A letter will be sent to the parents of the Student if a Parish declines this payment. If a Parish pays the Assessment, you will not receive a letter or change in your FACTS financial account. This is a financial support between the Parish and the Student Family. Any issues or concerns should be addressed to the Parish.  

If you are registered in a Catholic Parish different than what was entered in your FACTS enrollment, please notify the Business Office so we can update and reach out to the Parish. If a Student does not have a Catholic Parish registered in FACTS, a non-Parish assessment of $400 will be added to the Student FACTS account by October 31, 2025.

9th/10th Testing Day and 11th/12th College and Career Day

Mark your Calendar!

October 16 is a Special Day - Freshmen and Sophomores will be taking the Pre-ACT. Juniors and Seniors will participate in a College and Career Day. The college and career day will include a presentation from EducationQuest for juniors, and a panel discussion with recent Gross graduates for seniors, a college fair, and an opportunity to hear from multiple different professionals in our community. All students need to attend and will be dismissed at 12:00 on this day.

Gross is partnering with Strivescan for the college fair on October 16th. Juniors and seniors will register for Strivescan via their personal phone and a barcode will be texted and emailed to them immediately. Colleges use the StriveScan app to scan the barcode from a student's phone to access the information students would normally write on an information card at a college fair (name,email,phone number, address). Students can choose which college reps scan their barcode. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of Strivescan, please contact Julie McNamara at jmcnamara@gcgmail.org
