The Arts Matter Campaign

Cathedral High School has been intentionally educating boys from Los Angeles and its surrounding communities since 1925. With a student body comprised of 72% Latinos and 13% African Americans, Cathedral plays a significant role in providing a rich academic environment grounded in faith that serves to stimulate learning and success among these young people. With a staff and faculty who deeply desire to mentor and disciple students, Cathedral High School is well positioned to help these under-served students find purpose and achieve success – academically, socially, and spiritually. In 2015, Cathedral High School launched The Arts Matter Campaign to inspire participation and to provide greater access to the Arts for our students and our community.

The goals of the new Cathedral High School Visual and Performing Arts Classroom and Theatre Complex was to provide state of the art instruction for Cathedral High School students in the fine arts, theatre production, and television broadcasting. Our new performing arts building provides classrooms, studios for the creative arts, television production areas, music and theatrical arts, instruction and practice rooms. “Phantom Theatre” seats an audience of 360.

Great strides have been made in the last 20 years to provide an experience in the creative arts for all our students to meet entrance requirements for the University of California and inspire them to appreciate and create beauty. The school also strongly believes that these courses provide students with the opportunity to discover talents and skills they may not realize that they possess and to become fully actualized human beings.
