Who is Our CRU?

We treasure our relationships with our eight Catholic elementary partner schools in the Hampton Roads area. Together we make up a strong Catholic learning community that share values of education, faith, service and excellence in all that we do.

We offer several opportunities for future Crusaders to visit our school by attending summer camps, sporting events, weekly Masses, or marching in our Homecoming parade! Choosing Catholic High School is the next step in furthering your commitment to Catholic education. Your student will graduate as a confident, faith-filled young adult, ready for college and beyond.

We welcome you and know you will be wonderful additions to our community, coming to us well-prepared and ready to get involved.

Hampton Roads Catholic Elementary Schools

The military community is heavily represented at Catholic High School.  A large part of our student body hails from military families. We are especially fortunate that over half of our faculty and staff are associated with the armed forces as veterans, reserve personnel, retired military or military spouses.  Their unique perspective and vast experiences open the world to our students.

Our military families add diversity, flexibility and warmth to our community. We regularly welcome new families throughout the year and strive to help these students assimilate to their new home. In an effort to make transitions easier for our military families, a special group of student volunteers, our Military Student Advisors, are available to help answer questions, walk through schedules and introduce students to life as a Crusader. 

We are grateful for all our military families do for us and the sacrifices they make to keep us safe and free.  We would be honored if you would consider us your choice for excellence in education. You will find a home at Catholic High School!

You are an important part of our community and all are welcome here!

We know you will find Catholic High School a warm and friendly environment.  Approximately 25% of our student population is non-Catholic, representing many different faiths. All of our students participate in our theology classes, retreats, and weekly Masses while attending CHS.  In addition, involvement in community service activities and Catholic Social Teachings play important roles in living our mission. Catholic High School provides students many opportunities to strengthen their faith lives.

Your students will graduate from Catholic High School ready to impact the world with Christ-centered values, critical-thinking skills and the ability to form lasting personal and professional relationships.

It’s worth the investment in their future!

We have a long history of students transferring to Catholic High School for their sophomore, junior and senior years. Transfer students will abide by all admissions standards and procedures found on our Admissions Process page.  Senior transfer applications may have a slightly longer processing time to ensure graduation requirements can be met.

Reasons to transfer?

Our transfer students strengthen our student body! They share their experiences and ideas and enrich our community. It’s never too late to become a CRUSADER...jump in and get involved. We want you to be part of our CRU!
