Wilmington’s New Catholic High School
Join History in the Making
Rarely are we presented with the opportunity to do something historic in our lifetime. The first classes of Fr. Price Catholic High School will be pioneers, remembered for the trails they blaze. What clubs will our students establish? What sports will debut in the first few years of our athletics program? And when their journey at Fr. Price Catholic is nearly through, how will they speak to this remarkable leadership experience on university applications?

Our Mission
Fr. Thomas F. Price Catholic High School is an educational community serving Southeastern North Carolina which is centered in the Roman Catholic faith, embracing the richness of Catholic tradition and the promise of innovation, as we form men and women of faith, knowledge and service.
Faith . Knowledge . Service
Welcome to the new Fr. Price Catholic High School. Wilmington’s Catholic high school has been in the making for many years, and became a reality on August 19, with the enrollment of the Class of 2030.
Catholic Identity
Catholic identity is an important part of the education of your child. Our students will have the opportunity to attend weekly mass, participate in the sacraments, perform service activities, and have their Catholic faith taught in every subject. Students will be taught by faculty members who believe in, and actively participate in, the Catholic faith.
Financial Assistance is Available
Remarkable donors have made it possible for FTPCHS to offer financial assistance to students in need. We also encourage families to consider the North Carolina Opportunity Scholarship. More information about this can be found on this NCOS page and on our Admissions page. This program awards up to $7,000 based on a family’s household income.
History of FTPCHS
Fr. Price Catholic High School is the only Diocese of Raleigh approved Catholic High School in the greater Wilmington area. FTPCHS was developed by an incredible group of 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 councils and subcommittee heads from each parish make up an Executive Committee which will lead the development along with robust guidance from the Diocese of Raleigh. Phase One of Fr. Price Catholic High School is in a block of renovated classrooms on the first floor in the historic Tileston School building at the Basilica of St. Mary Catholic School. This location offers access to a science lab, auditorium, gymnasium, music room and other valuable amenities already in place.
