FOUNDED IN 1894 by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart's religious order, Catholic High School continues today as an independent, Catholic, all-male college preparatory high school accredited by the Quality Assurance Review Team from AdvancED/Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). As indicated in its mission statement, Catholic High School strives to teach gospel values in an academic excellence environment according to Catholic tradition and the spirit of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. Designated as a National School of Excellence in 1989, 1993, 1998, 2003, and 2014 by the U.S. Department of Education, the school celebrates 124 years of operation with a current population of 1,114 students in grades 8-12. The faculty consists of 99 members: 45 bachelor's, 49 masters, and five doctoral degrees.
The mission of Catholic High School is to teach Gospel values in an environment of academic excellence according to Catholic tradition and the spirit of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. We believe in a holistic approach to education. We believe that a young person learns from his or her total experience in the school setting. We attempt to address the young person's religious, academic, social, psychological, physical, and cultural development through school programs, courses, and policies.
Catholic High School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students. It does not discriminate on any national, ethnic, or religious basis in administering the school's education policies, scholarship and financial aid programs, athletics, or other school-administered activities.
We believe that our school should have a wide variety of quality extracurricular activities to enhance our holistic approach to education. The purpose of such variety is to give students ample opportunity to develop their skills and make the school an exciting and inviting place. Quality extracurricular programs develop students' pride in their school and themselves, increase their receptivity to the formation, and promote their success in all aspects of school life.
