Gala - Presents, Curtains

The NCC Gala is a major fundraiser with a focus on helping keep tuition affordable for all who desire a Catholic education at NCC. Over 50% of the NCC student body receives tuition assistance and benefits from the Gala sponsorships. This year, it costs about $250 per week to educate one of our students (based on the current tuition rate). Please consider a donation to cover a week, a month, or, if possible, a year.

We are very excited to be planning this year’s Gala event, and hope that we make this Gala a night of murder mystery fun! Our NCC Drama Club will be performing a musical murder mystery, Curtains.
