Cathedral Catholic Cares

A committee of parents working with the administration and staff to research and select qualified speakers for student body assemblies at least twice a year.
Arranges and secures special presentations and speakers to address parents of students on topics of concern to our school family.
Supports the campus SADD Club (Students Against Destructive Decisions) a national student organization promoting peer-to-peer education and activism dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving.
Spearheads a "Parent's Pledge" program at the beginning of each school year. Parents signing the "Parent's Pledge" are promising that anytime they host a student gathering in their homes, they will ensure the students do not drink, smoke, or use drugs, and will be present as active chaperones.

Mission Statement

The purpose of CathedralCatholicCares is to work with both faculty and parent representatives in the development of programs that promote the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of our student community. Through a series of speakers and events, we assist Cathedral Catholic High School in providing education regarding contemporary issues that affect our students and their families.
