Overview
Fr. Price Catholic High School is being developed by volunteer professionals, clergy and finance councils from St. Mark Catholic Church and School, and the Basilica of St. Mary Catholic Church and School. The respective parish pastors, school principals, key members of the finance counsels and subcommittee heads from each parish make up an Executive Committee that is leading the development with robust guidance from the Diocese of Raleigh. Phase One of Fr. Price Catholic High School will launch in a block of four refurbished classrooms in the historic Tileston school building at the Basilica of St. Mary Catholic School for the 2025-2026 school year. This location will offer access to a science lab, auditorium, gymnasium, music room and other valuable assets and amenities already in place.
