We are excited to welcome you to our Cathedral High School community.

Cathedral High School is committed to providing a quality college preparatory education. We offer a comprehensive financial aid package to help make Cathedral accessible to families from diverse backgrounds. We are geared to tailoring financial aid to meet the specific needs of our families by offering academic scholarships at entrance and financial aid to families who qualify.
