  • "Now I get it. I get why Sister Clare made me rewrite my essays and Mr. Scheevel made me rework my math problems. They were readying me for my college life and beyond. Both the academic and spiritual principles I learned at Cathedral are ones I rely on every day of my personal and professional life. Thanks for investing in my future, Mom and Dad!"

    —Paul DeWenter '06

  • "We've always felt Cathedral conveyed the same values and morals we try to teach our children. We liked the way our children could get to know everyone in their grade and also get to know the teachers so well due to the small class sizes. We also appreciated that they could play a lot in their sports, and enjoy the benefits of a smaller student body than a larger public school."

    —Tom and Nancy Balfanz, Parents

  • "I cannot begin to count the blessings that Cathedral has provided! The lessons learned in the Spanish classroom at CHS, the international service experience in Moshi and Tanzania, the team bonding with the girls cross country team, the individual life lessons in our vocabulary and spelling books from Sister Clare, and the PHENOMENONAL community that Cathedral has. Not only an education- but truly a LIFE LONG IMPACT!"

    —Meagan Baldwin '09

  • "From a personal standpoint, my teachers promote so much growth by encouraging me to do my best in everything I do. Cathedral as a school community provides so many opportunities in multiple ways, there is something for everyone across arts, athletics, activities. I have no doubt that everyone feels welcome at Cathedral."

    —Ava Labine '23

  • "My experience as a non-Catholic student at Cathedral has been nothing but positive. The students here do not treat me any differently, look at me strangely, or ask questions about why I am not participating in something. They know and accept that I come from a different religious background. The teachers are also more than willing to answer any of my questions about the Catholic faith."

    —Kailee Falconer '22

  • "I like the classroom environment at CHS. The extra support and smaller class sizes make it easy to be successful."

    —Grant Martin '21
