In a push to bridge the gap between operational cost and tuition, many schools throughout the Diocese of Little Rock have added a development director to their staff.

Six of the state's 32 Catholic schools now have full-time development directors. These include St. Joseph in Fayetteville, Immaculate Conception in Fort Smith, Subiaco Academy in Subiaco, and Catholic High, Christ the King and Mount St. Mary schools in Little Rock."
