What is a "Shadow" program? How can I participate?

Eighth grade students are encouraged to "SHADOW" a current Central Catholic student for the duration of a school day. You will be paired with one of our student ambassadors, attend classes with this student, meet his/her friends and have lunch with him/her. It's a great opportunity to observe our school family in action and experience firsthand what life at Central Catholic is like. Eighth graders wishing to participate in the “SHADOW” program must make arrangements with the Central Catholic Office of Admissions at least one week prior to the day of the “SHADOW” visit.

The number of daily visitors is limited to prevent overcrowding in the classrooms. Shadowing at Central Catholic is completed prior to Christmas vacation.
