James L. Collins Catholic School relies on School Service and Fundraising projects to keep our tuition cost one of the lowest in the Diocese of Dallas. This form of support is required by the vast majority of all private schools. In order to achieve this purpose, and in an effort to keep tuition as low as possible, every family must assume the responsibility & obligation of contributing though the James L. Collins Catholic School’s Volunteer Service Program.  Your involvement as a school volunteer is very important to our entire school community. Volunteers demonstrate service and guarantee both cost savings and fundraising income for James L. Collins Catholic School.
