Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“My sons both attended Central Catholic. One was an athlete and was involved in student governement, and one was involved in student governement, masque, forensics and several other activities. Both did well academically because they were pushed in a spiritual atmosphere by a great faculty. Of course there are 'boys will be boys' things. Cocky athletes? No more or less than at any other high school. Does the previous poster think these do not happen at other high schools? Central Catholic is a great high school and well worth the tuition.”

“as an all boys school there is lots of 'boys will be boys' things. Students are selfish and ignorant. They have some of the best sports teams so most kids get cocky. Even if you do have the money, think about it.”

“An incredible teaching institution where the Christian Brothers make men out of boys. Army service was a breeze after attending Central!”

“I am glad that my son was afforded the opportunity of attending Central Catholic High School and has since graduated. Central is an optimum school and has greatly prepared my son for college. I'm proud to be the parent of a Central Catholic grad.”

“This school is not what it appears to be. The school brakes down the children and teaches them that Central Catholic children are the only people that matter. Most of the children who graduate from here are selfish and have a hard time in the real world.”

“Central Catholic was the best decision my husband and I made for our children. We had to sacrifice financially to send our boys there, but it was worth it. The teachers at Central are top notch. They are highly qualified and most have at least a masters degree. They are also willing to stay after school each day to help children that are falling behind. Central Catholic ranks among the nation's top high schools both academically and in athletics. Their football team is consistently ranked nationally. One of my sons was on their highly competitive Crew team. My other son was involved in their Masque drama club program and performed in all of their seasonal shows. Central Catholic offers activities for everyone. Almost 90% of students are involved in activities. Parents, if you can afford it, send your children to Central Catholic.”

“I strongly encourage parents to send their children to Central Catholic. The friends I made during my four years at Central are going to be my friends for the rest of my life. Over four years, students really starts to develop a sense of brotherhood toward each other. Not only does Central Catholic do wonders on a college application, Central also does an excellent job preparing young men for college. The teachers at Central Catholic were amazing. I believe all of them have at least their masters degree. They have every extracurricular program a school could want and their sports teams rarely lose. The four years I spent at Central Catholic were the best four years of my life.”

“An excellent place to send your son for educational and athletic purposes. Central provides the student with many opportunities and teaches them more than they can learn in a book. It also prepares the student very well for college. Many of the things I learned in entry level classes I first learned at Central. I intend on sending my son(s) there in the future.”
