Welcome from the Principal

Dear Current and Prospective Cathedral Families,

For 100 years, Cathedral High School has served Boston and its surrounding communities with an unwavering commitment to provide a transformative, Catholic education, and we are so excited about what the next century holds. 

When you walk our halls, you’ll find engaged scholars in a vibrant community where each person is seen, known, and challenged to reach his or her full potential. Our dynamic and engaging faculty lead classrooms grounded in academic rigor and authentic care which honors our promise that each Cathedral graduate will be leadership ready, college ready, and life ready. Perhaps most importantly, our mission-driven approach ensures that this life-changing education is available to all families regardless of their financial situation. 

We understand that a young person’s experience in grades 7-12 is one of the most formative of their life, and we honor the trust of our families by working with a sincere sense of collaboration. Together, we inspire our students to dream big dreams while preparing them to live out those aspirations as joyful leaders in college, careers, communities, and families. In this way, we blend our rich history with a dynamic vision to dynamically teach students for our next 100 years. 

By deciding to explore a Cathedral education, especially during the most formative years of your life, you are exploring a community that holds up the values of character, commitment, and compassion. Your middle and high school journeys should be filled with challenges and opportunities for growth—so you should be surrounded by the support you need to navigate them with resilience, brilliance, and success. Become part of a community that prioritizes you.
