Cathedral High School is an urban, multicultural Catholic, college preparatory school in Boston’s historic South End serving boys and girls of all faiths from grades seven through 12. The school is rooted in gospel values, and prepares students for college and leadership for life.
The school was founded in 1926, to serve the youth of the city of Boston with the goal to “develop [them] spiritually, intellectually, and socially, and to train Catholic leaders” in the words of the founding mission statement..
Today, the school has more than 280 students from across Boston and a dedicated lay and religious faculty with an updated school facility and a rigorous college preparatory curriculum. The school has a proud record with 100% of Cathedral’s seniors having graduated high school and 100% having earned college admission for the last 12 years straight.
