Pre-K Tuition Application Update

The Catawba County Schools Pre-K tuition-paying application will open at 12:00 a.m. on Monday, March 2.

The application release has been delayed as the district reviews a potential tuition cost adjustment, which requires Board of Education approval. Due to recent winter weather, the Board meeting needed for this action will take place later in February.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and will continue to share updates as they become available.
