Catholic Central Mission Statement

Catholic Central High School is an inclusive community rooted in the Catholic faith that prepares servant leaders for a Christ-centered life.

We build everything — education, athletics, and community — on the foundation of the Gospel. Our leadership is committed to this calling, working to grow and strengthen a community of believers that support students’ quest for knowledge and faith. Chapel is open to all, as is the message for hope and salvation.

Our Leadership

Guidance and expertise for our mission.

Each Catholic Central faculty and staff member is a passionate professional dedicated to your child’s success and well-being in the classroom, in ministry, on the field, and beyond.

Strategic Plan

Ignite Our Future: A Bold Vision for Mission and Ministry

Our strategic plan was inspired by St. Catherine of Siena, who proclaimed, “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” This strategic plan builds on the school’s successful past and will ensure that generations of future students are prepared to be servant leaders for a Christ-centered life.
