CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL

The Corps of Cadets from Central Catholic High School sent three teams to compete on the National Stage at Daytona Florida this past weekend and came away national champions in several categories.

CourtesyCentral Catholic High School was initially founded in 1852 in downtown San Antonio of the time. Although it has gone through several name changes, it is one of the best examples of a true legacy. Given its rich history, it is no surprise that the school was voted as the Best Private School in San Antonio in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Originally a school for grades 6-12, Central Catholic became a high school in the 1950s and has remained that way. It’s an all-male high school rooted in tradition with a current roster of approximately 535 students.
