The Impact of the Parents Guild

Each year, the Parents Guild provides crucial volunteer and financial support for Central Catholic High School. Some highlights of this impact are included below!

Freshman Orientation

The entire freshman class participates in Freshman Orientation each fall. They get to know their classmates, teachers, and upperclassmen through a series of activities and cooperative and competitive games. This day serves as an introduction to what makes Central Catholic unique and what it means to be a Raider and to be a Marist.

The Parents Guild provides volunteers and a barbecue lunch for all participants.

SeniorFest during Commencement Week

Each year, during commencement week, the graduation class comes together for SeniorFest on Raider Field. SeniorFest includes field games, inflatables, and food trucks for the seniors to enjoy some fun and enjoyable time together.

The Parents Guild funds the food trucks.

Walkathon

The Walkathon raises approx. $100,000 each year to support the school by funding important initiatives not covered by tuition that directly impact the student experience. The Parents Guild supports this event with prize donations and by volunteering in numerous ways leading up to the event and on the day of the Walk.
