Overall, I really enjoyed the community that Central offers. We are incredibly tight-knit, and everyone is appreciated for what they can bring to the community. That being said, I have experienced rampant instances of cliques, bullying, and unchecked behavior (primarily by male students). While we do not have a strict dress code, girls have been targeted through the principal's emails regarding what they wear. Central tries extremely hard to reach a diversity quota which has made some of my friends feel tokenized. Additionally, the Archbishop will not visit our school because of our club for LGBTQIA+ students, and Central often does not address or represent these students in fear of the Archbishop. But, Central has a lot of positive aspects too. Their arts program is what attracted me there, and I firmly believe that there is no better art program in Portland. Everyone shows up for things that aren't usually celebrated (plays, girls' sports, open mic nights).
I am a senior at Central Catholic High School and when I say I made the right choice to attend cchs, I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. CCHS is such a welcoming community and invites everyone with open arms. I do not regret my decision to attend Central Catholic. At Central, I learned so much about myself and about my culture and about other people's cultures. Central has such a great community that everyone is part of the Ramily, as we are the Central Catholic Rams! The teachers and staff at Central are very helpful and amazing! As a person of color, the teachers make sure to support events we have as diversity groups and they remind other students to join the events. I really do love the school and the people there.
The teachers are what make CC good. They are always there for you and want to help you, you just have to show them you need help. The coursework is definitely college prep level and the college counselor is fantastic. The students do not care about sports other than football and men's basketball. If you play any other sport, it will not be mentioned or talked about unless you win state. The schedule is a mess currently and club meetings are sparse. I almost transferred to a public high school because of my classmates and the environment created but I stayed for the teachers and admin who really cared about me. Students, advocate for yourself, your parents can not do it for you. Teachers and admin want to hear from their students not parents. Beware, there are a lot of rich white kids who are not there thinking private high school is a privilege, they are there to mess around and do nothing. Understand that the education is amazing if you work hard and make connections with teachers.
