Holy Cross founder Blessed Basil Moreau said we must "contribute to preparing the world for better times than ours."

With a rich, 100+-year history, Cathedral has always taken great pride in its personalized education plan. The journey starts before a student’s freshman year. Counselors meet with eighth-graders between April and June to find out each student’s interests, strengths, challenges, and learning styles. We pair students with the same guidance counselor during his/her four years at Cathedral. Students also have the same college counselor for all four years.

Data is shared with teachers, giving educators a clear picture of each student so that they can design differentiated instruction.  These teachers combine Cathedral’s long-standing, faith-based approach to education with innovative, project-based learning. As a result, Cathedral students are equipped with the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in the 21^st century. Our Holy Cross values ensure that our graduates are not only scholars; they are spiritually active role models and citizens of the world.

Nearly every Cathedral student participates in at least one of our school’s 120 co-curricular activities. This participation is an integral part of Cathedral’s holistic education, allowing students to develop leadership skills, make new friends, serve others, and be more physically fit. 

Cathedral’s exceptional program of educating hearts and minds has not gone unnoticed. Cathedral has been recognized four times as a National Blue Ribbon School.  In 2024, Cathedral was awarded the Indiana Department of Education Excellence in Academic Gains Grant. 

Cathedral is accredited by the State of Indiana and the Lumen Catholic Accreditation Program.
