Transportation

Students attending Lake Catholic High School may be eligible for public school transportation or reimbursement from their public-school district of residence. Questions regarding the availability and use of public-school bus transportation should be directed to the local public school’s district office.

Lake Catholic High School provides a fee-based van service to neighboring communities where public-school transportation is not available. Several levels of service are available. Current riders are contacted each spring to assess their need for transportation for the following school year. Incoming students can register for transportation during their registration appointment or through the Admissions Department. Questions about van routes and fees should be directed to the school’s finance office.
