COMMUNITY PRAYER
TYLER DUONG ‘25 (NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY ‘29)
I am involved in football, volleyball, Ambassadors for Christ Corps, Fellowship for Christian Athletes and the Polynesian Club at Cathedral Catholic.
So far, my favorite class has been Catholic Faith 9 with Mr. Frice. He is an amazing teacher who always allowed us to ask challenging questions to which he would respond truthfully and intelligently. He inspired us to learn.
Only at Cathedral Catholic High School is there a community so tight-knit like a family that is centralized and built on the people’s trust in Christ.
People come to Cathedral Catholic from all over San Diego and I consider myself very blessed to be able to have friends from Chula Vista to Oceanside. value these relationships because I love learning about their cultures and backgrounds.
CHARACTER
The Cathedral Catholic High School core value of character inspires our students to respect themselves and others, value diverse people and cultures, and practice ethical citizenship and leadership. Our community prayer calls for us to build the Kingdom by making moral choices to improve our community and ourselves.
“...I VALUE THESE RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THEIR CULTURES AND BACKGROUNDS.”
FAITH
The Cathedral Catholic High School faith community is called to live the call of Jesus and reflect upon the Catholic values of charity, service and social justice. Grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the traditions of the Catholic Church, our community invites students to participate in the sacramental life of the Church and to contribute to a school environment that fosters love, compassion and peace.
JULIETA ZAVALA-LEMARROY ‘26
I am involved in Drama, Speech & Debate, cross country and the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Scholarship Program at Cathedral Catholic.
My favorite class so far has been Speech & Debate Honors with Mr. Duarte. We attend tournaments outside of school and work as a team to make learning more exciting and interactive. It is also a fun, creative outlet.
Only at Cathedral Catholic High School do you find a multitude of faith and service opportunities, programs and clubs, which all branch out to their own field of expertise.
A beautiful thing I’ve found at Cathedral Catholic is the unique faith formation with my peers. Exploring my religious beliefs with people my age is such a meaningful way to grow in my faith. Each of us going through similar experiences makes me feel more comfortable in my own journey with God.
“EXPLORING MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WITH PEOPLE MY AGE IS SUCH A MEANINGFUL WAY TO GROW IN MY FAITH.”
RILEY LEYVA ‘24, (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS ‘28)
I am involved in track & field (Captain), Black Student Union, Lucky Ducklings Club, Ambassador for Christ Corps, football and rugby at Cathedral Catholic.
My favorite class so far has been Catholic Faith 10 with Mr. De Vera. I loved this class because Mr. De Vera really opened my eyes to a life of faith bigger than just praying and going to Mass. He taught me so much and connected with me on a deep level.
Only at Cathedral Catholic High School can you connect with the perfect group for you. At Cathedral Catholic, it is impossible to not find someone to be friends with. Whatever your interests are, they are shared by others.
Every day, I feel blessed to be able to go to a school that has all of my needs covered and an environment that fosters deep thinking.

My favorite class was AP Psychology with Mr. Caro. He is an amazing teacher who truly cares about each of his students. The class was very interesting and allowed me to learn so much about psychology.
Only at Cathedral Catholic High School do you find a community that becomes your family.
My role as a Peer Mentor in the Options Program was one of my favorite experiences during my time as a student at Cathedral Catholic. will always cherish the friendships made and becoming an options mentor was by far the best decision I made throughout high school.
