Family First Admissions
This year, given the COVID-19 pandemic, Central Catholic is excited to introduce Family First Admissions, designed and implemented by our Admissions Team to place the health and safety of your family and our CCHS Family above all else.
In previous years, Central Catholic has offered a HSPT Prep Course on campus. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be hosting that course this year. To help you prepare, we have added some additional details on the exam format to this page, under "What You Need to Know," and we have also included "Tips & Suggestions" in that section.
