Larry Grothues Memorial - CCHS Golf Classic

• Central Catholic is a leader in providing Chromebooks (laptops) for every student who needs one. As SATs go all-digital next year, CCHS providing Chromebooks will allow students to take the SATs on campus vs. taking tests in an unfamiliar setting.
• Enhance the school’s digital security efforts with additional best-in-class cameras across campus, and key-card access doors to keep students and teachers safe.
• Tuition assistance is because more and more families are facing economic challenges while trying to ensure their son has the best Catholic education in the city.
