The Cotter Fund
Grounded in Faith
At Cotter, students grow in their spiritual lives through weekly worship and active faith experiences. Students in Grades K-12 attend Mass each week, while younger students also take part in weekly paraliturgies. Faith is nurtured through religion classes, Campus Ministry, and opportunities for prayer, service, and participation in liturgies and ministry trips. Your support brings more children into our faith community.
Exceptional Value and Affordability for All
Cotter's total enrollment has increased by 68% over the last 10 years and affordable tuition rates have played an essential role in this growth. Cotter remains committed to making financial aid available to all families in the community interested in Catholic education for their children. Your generosity can help bring this vision to fruition.
Excellence in Academics
Cotter students in all levels consistently exceed state and national averages in math, reading, attendance, and graduation rates. Participation in the Connect to College program continues to grow, with 113 students earning college credit in their Cotter classes this year, reflecting our commitment to academic excellence and college preparation. Your support ensures student academic success.
Did you know that tuition at Cotter Schools only accounts for about 30% of the total cost to educate a student? This means that relative to other Catholic and private schools, the Cotter experience is an exceptional value. The remaining 70% of the cost is paid for with contributions from donors like you.
We need your help to ensure a Cotter experience remains accessible. Contributions to the Cotter Fund enable us to welcome all families into the Cotter community.
The Cotter Fund is also used to support academic initiatives and co-curricular activities that challenge students to achieve their full potential.
