Thoughts on CHS:
     Even though I am part of the sisterhood minority of Catholic High, I feel very much at home here.  I enjoy watching my students grow from awkward freshmen into self-assured young men who are ready to take on college and/or life beyond.  I am proud to be the parent of a Catholic High graduate.  In that role, I have seen first hand how much a boy can benefit from what this school has to offer.  Catholic High gives its students enough freedom to excel while imposing limits that foster the self-discipline necessary for a successful life.  I am happy to be a part of this effort.
