Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) is a private coeducational Catholic college preparatory school in San Diego, California, USA. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego and was founded as the University of San Diego High School in 1957. CCHS came into existence in 1999, and the school moved to its current location on Del Mar Heights Road in Carmel Valley and changed its name in August 2005. The greatschools rating for the school is 4 stars for 2011 and 2012. Cathedral Catholic was named in honor of the original Cathedral Girls High School, which merged with USDHS in 1970 to become the second co-educational Catholic high school in San Diego.
As part of Bishop Robert H. Brom's "Secondary Education Initiative", all students from Catholic schools are entitled to financial assistance. The annual cost to send a child to Cathedral Catholic is $16, 484 or 81% of the cost to send a child to one year of a private college including the $500 registration fee. The 2015 tuition fee was a $1,290 increase since the 2014 year. An additional $400 fee covers technology expenses and an iPad for educational use, and a $250 fee covers the use of the Learning Center. Scholarships are available in memory of notable alumni from USDHS. These scholarships are awarded to returning students based on academic, or artistic achievement, or through service.
The ethnic makeup is mostly white, making up to 70% of the school population. The remaining students are 10% multi-racial, 10% Hispanic, 6% Asian, 1% black and 4% other.
CCHS offers Advanced Placement classes in art history, biology, calculus AB & BC, chemistry, English language, English literature, environmental science, European history, Macroeconomics, Physics B and C, Spanish language, studio art, US history, US government and World history. Advanced Placement examinations are offered at CCHS in May of each year. Taking the AP examination after the completion of a CCHS AP course is mandatory, otherwise the student will not receive the added point on their GPA.
