The economy isn't helping NCC right now either. Kids in Ft. Thomas who maybe would have gone to NCC in the past are staying in town and playing for Highlands. Three or four players a year can make a difference in the quality of depth on the team.

Why pay $5k+ when you can get a better education for the taxes you pay for the public school? It's a no brainer. NCC will never have the technologies and opportunities that Highlands has available to students. The school doesn't have the financial means to keep up with the changing world of computer programs etc..

I don't live in Highlands district. My kids went to the Catholic grade schools. After comparing the private school options academically to Highlands, it made much more sense to pay $4600 for Highlands, than $5000+ for the private education. I can't imagine it even being a legimate option of paying the NCC tuition versus going to Highlands for free. The catholic schools haven't progressed their teaching methods much from what it was 25 years ago as far as I could tell. Still a lot of papers, pencils and worksheets versus ipads, laptops, and smart boards.

Lastly, nothing wrong with going to the Midway and remembering all the good wins over rivals. I recommend the taco basket.
