Mission Statement
Cathedral High School is a Catholic, college preparatory community of learners committed to spiritual development and academic excellence within the context of the Gospel values of justice, peace, love, and service. Our goal is to educate the whole person spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and physically to accept full citizenship in the world.
