Central Catholic High School, a college preparatory nonprofit school for boys, is guided by the
educational principles of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. The school strives to provide a challenging,
relevant, and diverse program of studies and extracurricular activities in an environment that fosters
a life of faith and scholarship and develops leaders rooted in the Gospel values of integrity, respect,
service, justice and peace.
Philosophy
The administration, faculty, and staff of Central Catholic High School affirm that the primary
purposes of a Lasallian Catholic education are the training of the student’s intellect and the formation
of his life of faith within a school community, based solidly on Christian principles and the school’s
tradition of excellence.
We strive to provide each student with realistic challenges according to his capacity for intellectual
growth, creativity, and spiritual development. During these formative years we strive to stimulate his
mind, guide his critical thinking, promote competent self-expression, and develop his faith. We will
help the student to make choices likely to provide personal fulfillment beyond high school.
A Central Catholic education should provide our students with a Gospel-based understanding of our
society’s strengths and values as well as its conflicts and failings. We foster a sense of community that
demonstrates respect for each person as a unique individual. We strive to provide our graduates with
the skills to live responsibly within society and the Church, now and in the future.
