Create Your Legacy

Continuing its commitment to offer the entire Crusader community new and improved facilities, Catholic High School broke ground in August of 2023 for a 2,300 square-foot athletic pavilion with almost 3,000 square feet in outdoor plaza and patio space. The TowneBank Athletic Pavilion is a single level structure conveniently accessible from all the athletic fields. The building was dedicated and blessed by His Excellency Bishop Knestout in a special ceremony on April 17, 2024. It is now officially open for use to our whole community.
 

• The new facility contains:
• - An ADA compliant public restrooms
• - A girls’ locker room with secure dressing areas
• - Concessions area for use during athletic events
• - Officials’ suite complete with lockers, bathroom, and a shower
• - A multi-purpose room to be used for team meetings, film sessions, and optional classroom space
• - A brick plaza with outdoor seating adjacent to the - building, providing a gathering area and additional outdoor classroom space
