Students also partake in volunteer work, tutoring and other community outreach programs. Teachers at Cathedral High School are innovative and resourceful, and create engaging lessons for in-person and remote learning through a hybrid model of instruction.
The school building boasts a state-of-the-art design and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. With a student body of over 500 students, the school reflects a community of students from diverse backgrounds and 72 different countries.
Cathedral High School maintains a near perfect graduation rate each year. In fact, the Class of 2021 received over $27 million in college scholarships.

I entered this school expecting to enjoy my time here and get ready for college. This school does the opposite. Staff are rude and always seem to have attitude towards students for no apparent reason and don't really think about the students. Makes school miserable..

It started ok, but it allowed school politics to get in the way of student priority. The faculty (administration) started to leave.

Cathedral High school has been a home away from home for all of its students. Cathedral has fostered an environment where everyone has a purpose and everyone can go onto graduate and become whatever they dream. Cathedral has been a place where all of its students including myself , can become a better woman and member of society.

Students are disciplined and trained to develop good work habits. The school makes sure all students complete their Re...
