Empowering Young Men: Cathedral High School's Legacy of Faith and Tradition

Cathedral High School is a distinguished Catholic, Lasallian institution that has been shaping the lives of young men in Los Angeles for nearly 100 years. Cathedral offers a rigorous and engaging education that prepares students for the challenges of their time. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to nurturing each student's personal growth, both academically and spiritually, fostering confidence in themselves and their futures. Rooted in our Lasallian charism, we create a supportive community where students are inspired to develop a personal relationship with God, cultivate a concern for the poor and social justice, and strive to achieve their personal best. At Cathedral, we work closely with parents and guardians, ensuring that every student receives a superior education grounded in faith, dignity, and respect.

Mission Statement

The mission of Cathedral High School is to provide a human, religious, and college preparatory education to young men, especially those from economically challenged neighborhoods in the Los Angeles area, who seek a Catholic and Lasallian education inspired by the vision of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the heritage of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools which he founded.

Integral Student Outcomes - ISO's

Cathedral High School has four Integral Student Outcomes using the LIFE acronym. The outcomes were first adopted in 2007, then further refined over the years through our ongoing self-study processed and approved again in May 2017 after appropriate consultation. LIFE stands for “Lasallians with Integrity Focused on Education”. In response to the core principles of a Lasallian Catholic school we expect all graduates of Cathedral High School will be:

Lasallian. Understands the message of Jesus Christ in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, honors the presence of God, and responds to the needs of others, especially the poor.

Integrity. Respects and works cooperatively with others and appreciates people of different cultures, backgrounds, religious and socio-economic status. By understanding Christian moral values he will practice more mature decision-making.

Focused. Develops confidence in his abilities and sets personal and educational goals to complete an academic program required for college admission.

Education. Reads, listens, thinks critically and communicates effectively in a college preparatory curriculum while developing an appreciation for music, art, drama and his own physical abilities.
