A Tradition of Excellence

Cathedral High School was established in 1925 in the Catholic Community Center of El Paso, Texas. Over 5,000 young men have graduated from Cathedral Since the first senior graduation in 1927. For the school's first thirty two years, the faculty was composed of Christian Brothers. Since the 1960's lay colleagues, professional, licensed teachers have joined the faculty. All social history affects the school that continues to open its doors under the most trying times. World Wars, the Great Depression, September 11, and discord in the Middle East are part of the teachings on campus and part of the life lived by its students. Some of our students have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our beloved country by serving in all branches of the armed service. One Nation, under God, is a lesson learned well at Cathedral High School.

A Tradition of offering More

The moral compass provided by four years of religion classes, monthly mass and prayer before every class, invites God to guide every student. Staying on the cutting edge of education means that Cathedral must not only offer and advanced program of study, but opportunities that few school are able to give families as an educational option. The Center for Advanced Studies, opened in 2006 provided students with early college enrollment and college classes held on Cathedral's campus. Students simultaneously receive high school and college credit. Instructions in this program are accredited and the curriculum is certified for college credit. Dual enrollment credits through the Early Admissions of the Center at CHS are accepted at all Texas state universities and most private and out-of-state colleges. With college costs rising, many high school parents and students are hard pressed to pay high school tuition only to pay college tuition in four years. Through the opportunities at Cathedral, students are able to graduate from high school and take as many as thirty college credits with them to their chosen university. For many, they enter as sophomores and juniors at a significant savings.
