Nonprofit Week 2025: Our Lady of the Hills High School

Principal Bridget Collins and Athletic Director Nate Villareal discussed the start of the school year at Our Lady of the Hills, an independent Catholic college preparatory school focusing on academic excellence and character development.

The school offers a generous financial aid package, with many families paying less than 50 percent of the $11,000 tuition. Future state education savings accounts are expected to cover most tuition costs for eligible families, with the school planning community meetings to assist with the lottery application process.

Our Lady of the Hills emphasizes a close-knit community and dedicated staff, providing students opportunities in academics, arts and sports, including six-man football. The school features modern facilities, including an impressive gym, laboratories and a chapel.

The school suffered no direct flood damage but has served as a donation site and provides support to students impacted by the tragedy. Villareal, an alumnus who now serves as athletic director and football coach, emphasizes developing “better human beings” through athletics.

The school maintains a safe and secure environment while offering students chances to explore various activities and develop their potential.
