When a school brings out the very best in your children, it's only natural that you would want to spread the good news. We have a senior and a freshman student at CCHS and couldn't be happier. Our students are very different, but each have been having a wonderful experience at this school. Because there are so many various activities, each got involved early, and the transition from 8th grade into high school was easy.
The teachers are very well-credentialed, dedicated and genuinely care that the student is learning. And as busy as they are with their own lives, these teachers are so accessible and responsive!
From academics, athletics and visual and performing arts, this school has a very gifted faculty and staff who help students realize their potential--not only in these fields, but also in being good people.
So happy with this school!

As a member of the Miracosta College Mathematics department, I was assigned to teach the dual enrollment math classes in CCHS.
The first thing I noticed about the CCHS students is how well prepared they are in their math skills and that warrants kudos to the CCHS math department for their outstanding job of training their students.
The second thing I saw is how much these kids want to learn. They have more than enough to graduate with honors but they still want more. Not only do they want to know what the formulas are, not only do they want to know how to use the formulas, they want a deeper understanding WHY the formulas work.
Everyone I've met at CCHS - students, staff, faculty, administration - is good natured, pleasant, and helpful. I find the mood to be cheerful and productive. Overall I have come to realize that CCHS is a family. A happy family that welcomes you into their home.

Cathedral has been the best high school decision we could have ever made for our children! It has been everything we dreamt and hoped for, from the academics, to sports, to character development, t o friendships, to families, teachers, administrators, security guards, and a beautiful, well kept campus. There is nothing we would change about any of it! We love Cathedral!
