The mission of Central Catholic High School is based on the principle of Christian Education, which seeks to form Christian character so that the student will think and act in accordance with the teachings of Christ.
Keenly aware that education should draw forth those inherent qualities in the student which better him or her morally, socially and intellectually, the faculty and administration recognize their responsibility to present the truths which can best fulfill this purpose.
The integral development of the student takes place only in a Christian environment.
This development is governed by a genuine respect for the dignity of all persons affiliated with the school - students and staff members alike.
