This place is unbelievable. Our child has never been happier. They are continuously challenged and supported by the faculty. There are endless opportunities for learning. This place is preparing our child for college and while it is expensive to attend, it is money well spent. There are also no fights - none. There is also very good diversity within the school - young adults with all sorts of skin color. While we are not a catholic (or religious family) we still feel very welcome here and have no regrets at all with taking our kid out of Lawrence schools to attend this school.

As an alumnus, I am extremely grateful for the lifelong friendships I developed at Cathedral HS. Cathedral helped shape my values and taught me the importance of service to others and responsibility to our family and community. As a parent of Cathedral students, I am reassured Cathedral instills these Catholic-Christian values, provides my children the environment for boundless growth, offers a culture of excellence, and fosters each student's desire to learn.

This was a fantastic institution to attend. They have a rigorous curriculum with updated facilities and an outstanding faculty. They encourage participation in wide range of extracurricular activities and have an elite athletics program. The Catholic element adds an additional faith-based addition to the curriculum, but I wouldn't consider it "in your face" and they encourage a wide range of views and debate on hot topics.

My daughter is currently a sophomore at Cathedral. Our family is truly humbled and blessed for her to attend such an outstanding institution! Cathedral is focused on the development of all students - emotionally, spiritually, and academically. We are grateful for the attention that is given to developing well-rounded, young adults who are well-prepared for college and life, in general. For example, an emphasis is placed on building leadership skills, as well as community service.We also love the beautiful campus, which provides a small college atmosphere. It is an honor to drive up the hill every morning!! :)

A brother of student My brother has been at Cathedral for 4 years and he is a senior this year. Over these years I have seen him bloom into a young man. He has been on honor roll all year this year and he refuses to give up. I honestly hope cathedral changes me like it did with him. This school is the best in Indiana and the good thing is you're all family. If you had an option for sending your son/daughter to a high school, I would definatley choose Cathedral. I will be a graham an next year and I hope I have a better experience than my brother.

I thank my parents for their hard work to send me to this stellar school. In every aspect, this school prepares their students. Before I attended college, for example, balancing schoolwork and extracurricular activities with all outside agendas (i.e. family, jobs, social lives) was a vital life skill that easily became ingrained in the habits and expectations of Cathedral students, such as myself. I could speak of fantastic experiences, but to sum it up, the school gave me experience, flat. Diversity exists; not everyone is Catholic at all; there are different political and economical backgrounds obvious to the student body-- and yet the place is family. It is an exceptional high school that contributes to a teenager's growing process into becoming rounded individuals with a sense of purpose.
