Mission Statement

Catholic Central High School educates young men and women by fostering the work of God's grace and nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, physical, cultural and social facets of each student's life. Faithful to the Catholic Church, we strive to form disciples who serve God and others with justice, respect, and charity.

Philosophy

Our Catholic Community seeks to pass on its heritage of Faith to our children. CCHS exists primarily to serve this mission. This Tradition calls forth:

A belief in the active presence of God which we celebrate in prayer and Liturgy;
A maturity that accepts responsibility and recognizes limitations;
A regard for the authority of the Church;
An active concern for social justice, peace and human rights, both personal and
communal; psychological growth and a personal sense of self-worth.

It is the responsibility of the entire staff to emulate these ideals and to ensure that they pervade the structure of school life. It is in service to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our Christian ministry that we seek to promote spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social growth in a caring community environment. CCHS strives to be a resource and a guide to this lifelong task through a program of sound religious formation and excellence in education.

As an education institution, CCHS seeks primarily:

• To lead students to an awareness of the Lord Jesus Christ in their lives;
• To promote in the individual student hose morally sound behaviors which promote success, such as effective study habits; use of available resources; and a desire to investigate beyond the basics;
• To foster academic excellence, inquiry and development in the curriculum, as well as encouraging aesthetic, athletic, vocational and parish/community programs;
• To support the democratic ideals of our nation by instilling in the students a sense of Christian leadership and responsible political involvement;
• To respect and nurture an interdependent relationship between and among the school community and the parents, parishes, and communities from which CCHS draws life.
  

The seal of Catholic Central High School, in school colors of Blue and Gold, is divided into three parts.

The upper two segments display the Crusader, a Sword, and a Band. These emblems are symbolic of the Christian ideals on which CCHS is founded, and to which each of her students strives to integrate into his or her life.

The third section of the seal bears a rose, a heart, and a crescent...symbols of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, is the patroness of Catholic Central. In Mary, the students find the perfect model and guide as they grow towards their goal of Christian adulthood.
