Catholic high schools
Catholic high schools are secondary education institutions operated by the Catholic Church, emphasizing academic excellence, moral development, and spiritual growth aligned with Catholic teachings. They combine rigorous curricula—often including college preparatory courses—with religious education, community service, and values-based principles. These schools aim to develop well-rounded individuals who are academically competent, ethically grounded, and socially responsible, fostering a sense of faith and service. While they often serve students of all backgrounds, Catholic high schools maintain a religious identity that influences their culture, activities, and community engagement, emphasizing compassion, integrity, and respect for others.
