Principal's Message
Dear Cathedral Parents and Guardians,
It has been an absolutely phenomenal All Out Irish Day on the Hill! In addition to our Intramural Basketball Championship Game (click here for the video), we were honored to have representatives from the National Football Foundation on campus to present the Hatchell Cup Trophy to Cathedral High School. As you might remember, Cathedral was named the 2024 recipient of the NFF Hatchell Cup this year based on our football program's success in the classroom, in the community, and on the field. Congratulations to our football players, families, and coaches who always answer the call to greatness!
There's still time to donate on this All Out Irish Day of Giving! Click here and give today! All donations support Cathedral students and educators. Thank you!
