Cathedral High School provides students with individual attention and focus needed to claim future opportunities. Cathedral has proven to be innovative and on the cutting edge of academics, and accomplishes its mission to help young men become the best versions of themselves. Cathedral’s innovative learning models, rooted in the Lasallian tradition, recognize that each student is created in the image of God with infinite worth.
