Camden Catholic High School (CCHS) is a four-year comprehensive private coeducational Roman Catholic high school, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, in the Philadelphia metropolitan area and serving students from the Camden County area. The school operates under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1934. Camden Catholic students come from the local area and from Norway, Nigeria, Italy, Germany, Mexico, Vietnam, Korea, and China. Many of these students live on campus in the Nazareth House, a convent re-purposed to accommodate foreign students with full-time care-providers on staff, while others live with host families in the surrounding area.
As of the 2013–14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 657 students and 58.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.3:1.
When the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was built in 1862, space was set aside for the first parochial school in the city of Camden, which became the foundation of the current high school. In 1920, the existing elementary school program was extended to include a four-year, high school program graduating 15 girls and 6 boys in June 1921. Camden Catholic High School opened in 1924 with an enrollment of 400 students.
After a fire on April 17, 1960, destroyed two buildings at the Camden campus, a decision was made that a new school would be constructed on a 33-acre (130,000 m2) site in Cherry Hill.
In the school year of 2012–2013, Camden Catholic celebrated its 125th anniversary as a school.
