Who is Our CRU?

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

We offer many 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.

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.

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 would be honored if you would consider us your choice for excellence in education!

At Catholic High School, you will find a warm and friendly environment—all are welcome! Approximately 25% of our student body represents diverse faith backgrounds. All students participate in our theology classes, retreats, and weekly Masses, while involvement in community service activities and Catholic Social Teachings plays an important role in living our mission. Our school provides students with many opportunities to deepen their spiritual understanding and personal growth.

Through a faith-based education grounded in academic excellence, your student 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.

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 bring fresh perspectives and experiences that enrich our entire community. It's never too late to become a CRUSADER…we want you to be part of our CRU!
