Ways to Give
Central Catholic High School offers young men the opportunity for a distinctive education, a combination of excellent academics, personal development and spiritual growth. Every student has the chance to challenge and be challenged; to explore, grow, and set a course toward personal fulfillment, spiritual growth and professional success.
Over the span of 81 years, Central Catholic has prepared thousands of young men to live faith-filled lives committed to God, family and community. The generosity of alumni and friends supports a vibrant and diverse group of students who enhance the Central Catholic experience, and enable Central to fulfill the mission and vision of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Gifts to Central Catholic ensure the legacy of Lasallian traditions that inspire our students to perform acts of kindness, speak words of encouragement, and learn in an environment rooted in the Gospel values of integrity, respect, service, justice, and peace.
