Day 6: Crusaders experience school differently than others as faith is at the heart of all that we do. We offer a morning Liturgy of the Word Service with Communion each day before school, every morning begins with prayer, course work often intersects with faith, Mass and prayer services are held regularly, athletic and club events begin with prayer, and students have countless opportunities to deepen their faith by serving others. We also offer many opportunities for alumni and friends of Central Catholic to join us in prayer.
Day 7: Our students are active, 60% of them play more than one sport! 99% of our student body is involved in athletics, the arts, or a student organization. Being involved is an important part of getting a well-rounded student experience.
Day 8: The Crusaders encourage student involvement! 99% of our students are active on campus. We offer something for every interest, students even have the ability to start a new club.
