Central Catholic High School, a Catholic comprehensive, coeducational institution, exists to enable young men and women of diverse backgrounds to develop spiritually, academically, physically and socially by providing outstanding academic programs and opportunities to grow.
Central Catholic High School exists to extend the ministry of Jesus Christ who dwells among us- to serve and not to be served, to forgive and not to sit in judgment, to give witness to the truth of the Father's love through the power of the spirit.
As members of the Central Catholic Community, we -- administration, faculty, staff, and students -- come together to create an educational environment that emphasizes academic achievement; promotes the development of effective, humane decision-making; teaches self-discipline and respect for persons and property; prepares students for life; develops a sense of social responsibility for the progress of all, and calls forth the unique potential of the whole person -- body, mind, and spirit.
