"Add to Your Faith with Virtue." 2 Peter 1:5
Central Catholic, located in Morgan City, Louisiana, is a Catholic elementary and secondary school serving the needs of students from grades Pre-K3 through 12. Because of its dedication to faith formation, integration of technology, high curriculum standards, and family atmosphere, Central Catholic has maintained a reputation of excellence with local families throughout the many years of its existence.
Central Catholic, founded in 1893 by the Marianite Sisters of the Holy Cross, is a Catholic Pre-K3 -12 school. Central Catholic exists to serve primarily the Catholic population of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, the Catholics in East St. Mary Parish and in neighboring communities, and others who embrace Christian values and respect our God-given gifts. The curriculum stresses high academic standards, fosters good citizenship, and instills a strong sense of discipline. We complement the development of each student by offering excellent and diverse extra- and co-curricular programs such as Student Council, Key Club, National Honor Society, Beta Club, Junior Beta Club, ARK Club, 4-H, spirit groups, as well as, numerous boys and girls sports teams.
We believe that Central Catholic exists to offer a “meeting place for those who wish to grow in Christian attitudes and values.” Through affirming worth and dignity of each individual, we seek to nurture and prepare this school community—students, faculty, staff, and parents—to take their respective places in the larger community as responsible Catholic Christians.
Within this supportive environment, our students are challenged to become capable of making decisions in a life of service and witness to the message of the Word of God. In this life of service and witness, it is hoped that our students will participate in building a more Christian nation and world.
The parents are supported as the primary educators in the spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social, and cultural development of students. Structuring an educational climate, which promotes knowledge, personal growth, and self-discipline, encourages this development of students.
Central Catholic is espoused to the ideology of a living faith community in which mutual trust, mutual respect, and mutual responsibilities are living examples of all.
