Cathedral Scholar

“I am so thankful for the opportunities Cathedral has given me. My teachers pushed me to be a better person. Seeing the accomplishments of my classmates really motivated me. My internship with Fidelity helped me to prepare for college and my future.

Coming into Cathedral, I didn’t have the skills of a leader. Now as I enter my senior year, not only have I learned how to be a leader, but I also have goals and connections that will help me reach those goals. Overall, Cathedral has been a great high school experience.”
