Tuition: DCHS is committed to serving the Greater Des Moines community and making a Catholic education accessible to all. Gifts to the Annual Appeal help cover the “gap” between tuition and the cost to educate each student and provided $1.4 million in tuition assistance during the 2021-2022 school year.*

Student Life: Through faith and academics, student activities, athletics and the arts, the Annual Appeal serves the interests of our students. With donor support we are able to grow existing opportunities and launch new initiatives.

The Annual Appeal also supports every aspect of the school’s daily operations. Our commitment to excellence extends to the building and grounds, technology and providing competitive teacher compensation. To make a gift, please visit: www.dowlingcatholic.org/annual-appeal.
