The middle school at CCHS houses students in Grades Seven and Eight and is basically a
school within a school. We are proud of the
fact that we have a separate faculty dedicated to the middle school. The middle school is purposefully kept small so
that it can be the “transitional bridge” from elementary to high school. Our middle level program guides and supports
students educationally, emotionally, and spiritually. Communication with parents and
guardians is ongoing and our students are nurtured and encouraged every step in their
journey.
The excellence of the middle
level program at Catholic Central stems from its clear mission, overall vision, and
adherence to rigorous state standards. We
provide structure for our students as we attempt to develop our students to their fullest
potential. We know each child as a student as
well as a person. We meet students at
their level of academic achievement.
