Visit

One of our Holy Cross Core Values is family, and we know gathering together in person, as a family, on the Hill, is the best way to experience Cathedral. However, the safety of our family (including you!) is of utmost importance, and we are happy to offer several virtual events for you and your family to learn more about Cathedral. This page will continue to be updated this fall. 

Schedule a 1:1 with a member of the Admissions Team to learn more about Cathedral High School and your opportunities for greatness.  Click here to schedule a tour or contact our Admissions Team. 

Thank you for scheduling a campus tour at Cathedral High School! We look forward to welcoming you and your family to the Hill. When you arrive to Cathedral, please enter the main parking lot (first right when driving up the Hill). You may park in any parking space in the main lot and enter in Door #2 to the Welch Activity Center. Click here for a campus map and directions.

Before arriving on campus, please review the Cathedral Safety and Wellness Notice. Note - all visitors are required to wear a face covering. If you do not have a mask, one will be available at the front desk when you sign in.
