School Notes

As a top college prep school in the SE Region of Wisconsin, Catholic Central High School has prided itself on bringing affordable private high school education with a moral baseline supported by the Catholic Church. Founded by The School Sisters of Notre Dame in 1920, CCHS boasts 51 State Championships, National Top 10% ACT Scores, aggressive tuition assistance that includes Racine and Wisconsin School Choice options and concurrent enrollment which allows for CC students to obtain college credits while in high schoool.

School Mascot: Harvey The Hilltopper

Through Faith, Knowledge and Tradition, Catholic Central HS not only teaches students how to learn but how to live.
Deliberately small, CCHS takes pride in offering all students opportunities to "get involved" in the numerous athletic, academic and extracurricular courses and social clubs. A renewed commitment to the fine arts (Band and Theater), CC produces 2 theatrical productions per year and a number of band and ensemble community concerts which frequently brings the entire Burlington community together.
A great way to find out more about CC Student life is to schedule a "shadow day" which takes you through the day-in-the-life of a Hilltopper while shadowing a current CCHS Student. Contact Admissions for more information.

For the money, CC is one of the best investments in private school education in the area. It's a challenging school for students, but every student is given all the tools to succeed. With an 8:1 Student to Teacher ratio to 100% graduation rates, the faculty is a caring group of dedicated educators. It's a privilege to have worked at CC for 4 years.
