Central Catholic High School opened up numerous doors for me and adequately prepared me for college.

It's a great school that prepares you for college and promotes togetherness, family, teamwork. Morale is amazing. It's extremely safe. No bullying. It is truly a family away from your own family.

3.0 Alum

12/28/2023

If you go here, I recommend getting as involved as possible. Definitely join clubs and sports as it will benefit you in the long run. The teachers are overall very helpful and nice. The sport are highly competitive, and there is a large football influence.

I will say that the framework she got for trying hard was in no small part due to the HS education received at Central Catholic. While I was not a fan of all the teache...

Where do I even begin? As a senior i’ve watched dozens and dozens of kids from my class leave throughout the years for better opportunities at better schools. Some teachers try their best to work under the rather draconian rules issued by the principal Doreen Keller, and the rest rather stay on thei...

The students are not listened to. There have been multiple complaints over the years for the same teachers because of their teaching and unfair grading of tests and unfair treatment yet nothing has been fixed or addressed. The students are for the most part miserable to be here.
