Funding fit at John Carroll Catholic High School
Does John Carroll Catholic High School accept the CHOOSE Act ESA?
Yes. John Carroll Catholic High School is on the Alabama Department of Revenue's CHOOSE Act participating-school list dated October 23, 2026, so a participating student's $7,000 ESA can pay its tuition and approved fees through ClassWallet.
The award is the same for every grade from K5 through 12; for 2027-28 there is no household income test, though priority groups are served first if money runs short.
