Alleman High School

What Alleman High School does

Alleman Catholic High School is a nonprofit, Catholic college-preparatory secondary school founded in 1949 in Rock Island, Illinois, operating under the Catholic Diocese of Peoria. The school delivers a faith-based college-preparatory curriculum with 100+ courses spanning Academic, Honors, AP, and dual-credit tracks (the latter through a Black Hawk College partnership covering psychology, speech, chemistry, art, English composition, US history, and art appreciation), supported by a 16:1 student-teacher ratio, a full-time resource program for students with learning accommodations, and college/career counseling. The co-curricular product includes 20 varsity athletic programs (Western Big 6 Conference, IHSA), performing arts, library resources, and summer camps.

The underlying technology stack is modest and largely third-party: school-issued Chromebooks for students, the FACTS platform for learning management and tuition/financial aid administration, and standard online research databases accessed through the Rev. John O'Connor Library. No proprietary technology, mobile app, or API surface is present.

Revenue comes from tiered recurring tuition (parish rate $7,050, second student $4,800, free for 3rd+; non-parish rate $8,800-$6,550; international $15,000/year or $7,500/semester), a $400 per-student annual general fee, and significant fundraising/development income (Heritage Ball, Pioneer Calendar sales, Don Morris Golf Outing, Birdies for Charity, planned giving, an endowment established in 1978). The school notes tuition covers only ~50% of operating costs, with the balance funded through donations, events, and endowment draw; ~$575,000 in tuition assistance and ~$90,000 in scholarships are distributed annually. Distribution and GTM run through a community-led model: 14 Rock Island Vicariate parishes drive top-of-funnel family engagement, complemented by alumni referral, community events, school visits, transfer/referral grants, and open admissions. Customer segments span parish-affiliated Catholic families (primary), non-Catholic/non-parish families (~12% of students), international students, and transfer students recruited through the Faith in Our Future initiative.
