HALO is focused on discovering the barriers that exist for accessing Catholic education, and we are working to remove them. We are testing and developing new strategies and tactics to increase awareness and add students to fill existing capacity. We are bringing new partnerships to the CSO through donors, businesses and other organizations who share the vision of providing academic excellence and Catholic formation for every family who seeks it. Collectively, we are providing support, development and tools that will benefit the entire Catholic school system in the Dallas area.

HALO manages the tuition assistance program for the CSO, coordinating donations and awarding more than $2M in tuition assistance for families each year. We work with funding partners like the Diocesan Educational Education Trust (DEET), the Bishop’s Invitational Golf Tournament, private foundations, and individual donors to provide help where it is needed most.
