If you’re interested in having your son or daughter join a community of students from five counties, 21 school districts, and 31 communities all desiring to effect real change in the world, Catholic Central or West Catholic may be the right choice.
Your student will experience a combined interdisciplinary study with practical problem-solving skills. He or she will gain new perspectives that come from Catholic theology and a Catholic intellectual tradition that is thousands of years old. Our unique locations and history enrich all of our offerings, from innovative courses like pre-engineering and research, to the performing arts and athletics. Our dynamic faculty provides training within the context of personal attention that is unmatched. Care is given to the development of the imaginative, emotional and creative dimensions of every student in all courses of study.
Now more than ever, there is no better place to attend high school that at Catholic Central or West Catholic. That’s why I invite you to accept my personal invitation to visit and learn more about us. For an appointment at Catholic Central call (616) 233-5816. Or phone West Catholic at (616) 233-5918. We are enrolling students now for the 2011-12 school year.
