CCHS Facts
Central Catholic High School is proud of the many student accomplishments, especially in the 19,197 hours of Christian Service performed in the community. It is hard to believe they could squeeze all of this into their busy schedules, but they did…and they did it well. We are very proud of them. Last year we offered our students every opportunity to display their talents.
Our theme during the 2011-2012 school year is Faith, Family and Tradition. Our Theology Department raised the bar for our students by increasing the number of Christian Service hours served to a minimum of 25 for each student (five of which needed to address the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.) Our students shared their many gifts with a myriad of service organizations and charities throughout the San Joaquin Valley (over 70) and volunteered 19,197 hours! By sharing their many gifts, our students have shared the good news of Central Catholic High School far and wide.
While we don't have figures yet for this current year, here are a few highlights of the gifts and talents of 2011 Central Catholic Raiders:
- 468 college units earned through our College Academy with includes partnerships with Modesto Junior College and College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) Program.
- 89% of our students participated in CCHS co-curricular activities.
- 81 points separate the average CCHS SAT score from the average National SAT score; 79 points separate the average CCHS SAT score from the California average.
