Mission
Faithful to our Catholic Tradition, our mission is to witness to the Gospel while building an educational community that inspires the spiritual, academic and social development of young adults.
Philosophy
We at Central Catholic High School recognize that the best preparation for life is a challenging, well-rounded, academic education combined with diversified co-curricular activities all grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe that students grow and mature best in a faith-based community where they, in union with God, and in partnership with their families and our staff, have a sense of belonging, security and commitment to service. We believe in the dignity and uniqueness of each person as a child of God.
