Gloucester Catholic High School is a co-educational six-year Roman Catholic high school located in Gloucester City, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States, operating under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Camden. The school serves students in seventh through twelfth grades. Its mission is to empower young men and women to develop in all aspects of life: spiritual, intellectual, moral, emotional, social, and physical. Gloucester Catholic High School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1991.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 658 students and 39.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 16.6:1. The school serves students from 50 parochial and public schools within the Diocese of Camden.
In the Class of 2012, 60% of the students were accepted by four-year colleges or universities and 35% of the students were accepted into two-year colleges or technical schools. Scholarship and grant money awarded to this class totaled over $6.9 million.
After opening in 1928, the school had its first graduating class of 27 students in June 1930. Through the 1940s, the school's enrollment varied between 150 and 200. After World War II, the school added a gymnasium and classrooms to its building on Cumberland Street, to accommodate enrollment that rose as high as 300 during the 1950s, and reached 700 in the 1970s.
Under the leadership of John Colman, who became the school's first lay principal in 1999, enrollment at Gloucester Catholic has grown to 850 who come to the school from Gloucester County, as well as from Burlington, Camden and Salem counties.
