In its admissions practices, Central Catholic High School endeavors to enroll a diverse and multitalented student body comprised of individuals who

• Although possessing differing degrees of academic readiness, are able and motivated to undertake our rigorous college preparatory curriculum;

• Enhance our Christian learning community through their unique combination of abilities and interests;

• Desire the religious and moral formation at the heart of our educational program.

Because requests for admission to Central Catholic High School greatly exceed capacity, the admissions process is, by necessity, highly selective. Academic criteria (elementary school transcripts and entrance examination scores) receive priority consideration in the admissions process.

However, in pursuit of its admissions goals, Central Catholic intentionally enrolls students demonstrating various levels of academic achievement. Other factors (including, but not limited to, application responses and recommendations) are also seriously considered; many of these are necessarily non-objective. Thus, there is no single objective index by which admissions decisions are made.
