Central Catholic High School offers boys an education in the Marianist tradition, emphasizing bearing active witness to Christ along with promoting academic excellence.

Central Catholic's average class size is 23 students and the school's science program offers an advanced placement track allowing students to accumulate five to six college credits prior to graduation.
