Mission:
Catholic Central High School recognizes parents to be the primary educators of their children and collaborates with them in helping their children to learn and grow in the Catholic faith. We provide a safe and challenging environment where mutual respect and high expectations are maintained through the active engagement of students in the learning process.

The young men of Catholic Central learn holistically the ideals of the Basilian Fathers – goodness, discipline, and knowledge – so that they may become productive members of the Church and society.

Catholic Central is a private Roman Catholic school for young men. The school's motto, drawn from the Psalms, is "Teach Me Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge." It is our belief that a wholesome blending of these three elements will encourage and educate our students toward authentic growth as accomplished Christian gentlemen.

Our faculty, our families, and the students themselves attest to this conviction through their expressions of respect for the traditions and dynamism of Catholic Central and through their considerable sacrifices of energy, time, and financial resources.
