The Centennial Campaign

For nearly 100 years, Central Catholic High School has fulfilled a mission of profound value.

To continue this legacy of excellence, Central Catholic High School seeks to raise a minimum of $55 million for campus improvements as the school prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary in the 2027-28 school year.

Plans and Priorities

The Centennial Campaign consists of three phases of enhancements to our school's campus.

We are seeking your partnership

Central Catholic is moving forward with plans that will have a positive impact on the experience of our students for generations to come. Together, we are writing the first great chapter in the story of our school’s second century. By making your commitment to this effort, you are stepping forward as an essential partner in that mission. Thank you.

In May 2026, Central Catholic High School broke ground on a new, 102,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Student Center, the largest campus project since the construction of the original Main Building, which opened in 1927. The new 102,000-square-foot Student Center will include a regulation-size gymnasium, fitness center, seasonal team locker rooms, a TV studio, lecture hall, dining hall, and multiple student collaboration and gathering spaces.
