Central Will Shine Tonight

Since March of 2020, the Central Catholic High School Athletics Department navigated through the COVID-19 pandemic with a sense of confidence that our program would persevere. Reflecting upon our protocols, schedule changes, policies and day-to-day changes, there was no doubt in my mind that we achieved great success for 20202021 school year.

We competed in post-season play in nine of our 12 sports, ranging from bi-district, area, regional, semi-final, and national title status. Our athletes recorded numerous all-district, all-state, academic all-state awards, Express News all-area and Top Ten Area recognition across the majority of our athletic programs. Our coaching staff has also received recognition as coach of the week, coach of the year, coach all-star games and have presented to other groups and coaches.

With this said, we had 336 out of 519 students participate in our athletic program in 2021. Seventy-two percent of our athletes participated in one sport while 28% participated on multiple athletic teams. More notably, we ended the year with five football players, two soccer players, two baseball players and one basketball player continue their athletic journey at the collegiate level.

God Bless our Central High!
