What Powers Catholic High School does

Powers Catholic High School is a private Catholic secondary school located at 1505 W. Court St., Flint, Michigan, enrolling approximately 580 students in grades 9-12 as the high-school component of the Genesee County Catholic Schools (GCCS) system, which collectively serves 2,100 students across seven elementary feeder schools. The school delivers an Advanced Placement and college-preparatory curriculum that produces a 98% college enrollment rate, with 80%+ of students identifying as Catholic and a faith-formation program that includes Campus Ministry, retreats, service requirements, and a Rome Pilgrimage. Co-curricular breadth is material: over 90% of students participate in athletics, clubs, or student organizations, supported by a House System for vertical community building, a Senior Capstone Project, and theatre/arts programming.

The underlying technology is a conventional EdTech stack rather than a proprietary platform. Students operate within a 1:1 iPad program using digital textbooks, and the school integrates third-party systems across the student lifecycle: Rediker for admissions applications, FinalForms for registration, PlusPortals (StudentPlus/ParentPlus) for grade access and teacher communication, FACTS Tuition Management for financial-aid processing, DiamondMindInc for online tuition payments, MealMagic for cafeteria point-of-sale, Square for the Spirit Shop, and Google Calendar for scheduling. There are no in-house developed systems, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities.

Revenue is generated through five streams: recurring tuition billed monthly June–May (with a discount for lump-sum payment that waives the $100 registration fee), the Annual Fund for current operating needs, the Educational Trust Fund endowment (annual tuition-assistance need exceeds $600,000), a New Building Fund capital campaign tied to the recent Court Street relocation, and the Save-a-Seat auditorium dedication program. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer family recruitment through the GCCS parish network, the school website, email bulletins, campus visits, and community referrals, with transportation partnerships extending reach to Grand Blanc and Fenton.
