Eighth-grade students are invited to immerse themselves in the Cathedral High School experience through our shadowing program. This unique opportunity allows prospective students to walk in the footsteps of a Cathedral student, attend classes, and engage with our community.

Schedule your shadow day

To schedule a shadow day, students must first submit an application. This helps us get to know them before their visit and ensures we have all necessary emergency contact information. Applications for the Class of 2030 open Monday, July 14.

Shadow days begin with a student panel, where visitors hear firsthand from current students about life at Cathedral. Lunch is provided in the dining hall. Shadowing opportunities are available beginning in September and can be scheduled through the application portal.

We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2030 to spend a day on the Hill!

Greatness is Calling at Cathedral

Hear from alumni and past parents about how Cathedral transforms the hearts and minds of her students.

"Cathedral prepared me for my path in the military by teaching me always to challenge myself and constantly raise my personal standards. I carried these lessons along with the faith-driven principles throughout the United States Naval Academy and even now as a Marine Corps Officer."

Morgan Bolden '15
U.S. Navy-Communication School Graduate
Marine Corp Officer

"The faculty and staff at Cathedral have prepared me not only to succeed academically and athletically but have also helped form me into a more complete leader and person. Cathedral provided me with the environment to grow into who I am today. The experience in electives like broadcasting and newspaper helped me find my passions and potential career path."

Why did the Schopper family drive over 20 miles each way for eleven years to attend high school? The key word in that sentence is family. The family describes that while their kids were strong students, they wanted more than just academics—they wanted a school that nurtured their individual strengths. When their oldest was in 8th grade, they carefully considered each child’s unique needs.

"Cathedral’s rigorous academics and diverse course offerings stood out. The college advisors genuinely counsel students, guiding them through critical decisions. At the time, Cathedral checked most of our boxes. Looking back, we wouldn’t hesitate to make the same choice for another eleven years. Why? As beloved teacher Howard Fogel once said in a commencement speech: 'It’s who we are. It’s what we do.'"
