Applying to Central Catholic

Rolling Admissions: Central Catholic is currently accepting 9th-grade applications for the 2019-2020 school year! All students applying for 9th-grade enrollment to Central Catholic must complete an online application. 

In addition to the online application, an applicant must also take the High School Placement Test (HSPT) and have teacher recommendations and school records submitted. An applicant's application file will be deemed fully complete and ready for admissions review once all necessary documentation has been received.

NOTE: Admissions decisions for fully completed applications from the January application deadline were updated to MyCentralConnection (MyCC), the online portal used to submit the admissions application and mailed on Friday, February 8, 2019. Admissions decisions for fully completed applications submitted during the rolling admissions period will be updated to MyCC and mailed throughout the spring semester.

List of 4 items.

  • High School Placement Test (HSPT)

    As part of the application process, Central Catholic requires that all applicants who are applying as incoming 9th-graders take an entrance exam and submit their scores to the Enrollment Office.  The HSPT is a timed (2.5 hours) exam and has a $15 fee.

    Central Catholic is offering various HSPT dates during the spring semester for 8th-grade students who have not taken this important exam yet but are applying to Central Catholic for the 9th-grade. View the "Important Dates" section (to the right) for test date details. 

    If a student takes his HSPT at Central Catholic or chooses Central Catholic as a high school option at the time of testing, then his HSPT results will be sent to Central Catholic automatically. 

  • Teacher Recommendations

    All applicants must submit at least two teacher recommendations: one recommendation from their current Math teacher and one recommendation from their current English teacher. The teacher recommendation form can be found HERE. Recommendation forms and school records can be submitted simultaneously with the online application. Recommendations can be sent to Central Catholic High School by:

  • Enrollment Office Communication with Middle Schools

    Central Catholic can request an applicant's school records and teacher recommendations from his middle school. Central Catholic encourages parents to follow up with their middle school for records and teacher recommendations, as both are needed to complete an application. Central Catholic will be in touch with both parents and middle schools if an application is incomplete or missing pertinent information.

  • Our Responsibility

    The Central Catholic High School Admissions Committee will evaluate each application with the utmost respect and fairness, as is consistent with our Marianist tradition of service and justice. We will make a decision based on HSPT scores, middle school records, recommendations, and interview (if required).
