Hudson Catholic Regional High School

What Hudson Catholic Regional High School does

Hudson Catholic Regional High School is a private, nonprofit Catholic college-preparatory secondary school founded in 1964 by Archbishop Thomas Boland and operated under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. Originally an all-boys institution, it became co-educational in 2009 and currently enrolls over 530 students drawn from more than 40 cities and towns across Hudson County NJ and the New York City metropolitan area. The school is led by President/Principal Mr. Terence Matthews, M.A., with a faculty and administrative staff of approximately 32 (66% holding a Master's degree or higher), and has maintained continuous Middle States Association accreditation since 1970.

The school's core academic offering is anchored by the Dual Degree Program with Saint Peter's University, enabling students to accumulate up to 66 college credits and graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate's Degree. Specialized verticals include the Medical Arts Program (healthcare career preparation with simulation labs and internships) and a Theatre Arts program operating out of the Jack Campion Stage. Technology infrastructure consists of a 1:1 iPad program, Apple TVs and Epson Bright Link projectors in every classroom, a Level 3 SMART Biology Lab, digital microscopes, and a recently modernized Learning Commons. The school supports 19 varsity sports and 20+ clubs, with documented national-level recognition in indoor track and field relays.

Hudson Catholic's revenue model is tuition-driven, with domestic tuition set at $13,000 per year plus mandatory registration, general, graduation, FACTS enrollment, and family fundraising fees. International students pay a flat $18,000 upfront. The school awards approximately $1.2 million annually in financial aid to over 70% of its student body and supplements tuition with fundraising operations managed by a Chief Advancement Officer. Distribution is regional and direct: admissions flow through campus tours, an online inquiry form, HSPT testing, and athletics-based recruitment across Hudson County NJ and NYC feeder communities.
