We are extremely grateful for your continued prayers and support. Our CCS parents, grandparents, faculty, and alumni have always played a significant role in the success of Cathedral-Carmel School. Our reputation is one of academic excellence, strong Roman Catholic identity, and ongoing vitality and growth. As we continue to raise funds to restore the entire Middle School building and upgrade the HVAC & classroom windows in the 2-4th grade building, we are forever grateful to you for making CCS what it is today!

Did You Know?

The CCS Historic Preservation Campaign is to raise money to improve the learning environment by restoring the efficiencies of both the Middle School building and the 2-4 grade building.
The Middle School building is the oldest building on campus and the original Cathedral School built in 1919; and the 2^nd- 4^th grade building was built in the 1950’s.
The school allocated PBA funds raised through various school fundraisers and other resources to finance and complete Phase 1 of the campaign.
You can help CCS raise the remaining amount needed for the campaign - only $1,761,950 to complete Phases 2 & 3.
