Cathedral Prep invites students with a welcoming atmosphere every morning and makes sure each that student is getting the experience they paid for. While all this makes it a fantastic high school, I would like to see a change in food prices.

I have enjoyed my time at Prep and I feel that the school does a good job of preparing students for college. The alumni network is very broad and if you open yourself up to speaking with Alums, you can build connections from a young age.

The school creates a community where we unite as brothers and sisters. Everyone cares for each other. There are great teachers who want their students to succeed. We get together a lot during school to do activities and there are many areas where one can get involved. The food could be better in the cafeteria, and it could be more focused on disciplining the negative and detrimental things, rather than little things that shouldn't matter.

I suspect that the money spent was not worth it. The teachers at Prep are, as a whole, like those in other schools. Th...

We sent our first two children to public school and our last two to Cathedral Prep. There is simply no comparison in the educations. They push the boys to want to succeed and instill in them a drive that public schools do not. They not only teach the boys academics, but integrity, morals and respect...
