Activities
In early 2008 the North Catholic robotics team competed in the First Robotics competition at the University of Pittsburgh. They placed 17 out of 33, which is reasonably well considering most of the teams were veterans. The team was sponsored by the North Catholic Alumni Association. The team will be competing again this coming school year.
The current tuition rate is approximately $8.095 for a Catholic student and $8500 for a non-catholic student.
