About CCHS

Central Catholic High School

Central Catholic High School, part of the Diocese of Peoria, has a rich tradition and history. We are a private parochial school situated in the combined communities of Bloomington/Normal, Illinois. Located in Central Illinois, we are the only Catholic high school in McLean County serving five supporting parishes and multiple surrounding communities.

National Blue Ribbon School

We are a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School. United States Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos named Central Catholic High School a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School.


“National Blue Ribbon Schools are active demonstrations of preparing every child for a bright future,” Secretary DeVos said. ​“You are visionaries, innovators and leaders. You have much to teach us: some of you personalize student learning, others engage parents and communities ​in the work and life of your local schools and still others develop strong and forward-thinking leaders from among your teaching staff.”

History

History

St. Mary's High School

St. Mary’s School was opened as a grade school in 1884, adding high school classes at a later date. The first graduates of St. Mary’s came in 1889, which became tradition every year thru 1928 when a new building was opened across the street from St. Mary’s and changed its name to Trinity in honor of the name of the Catholic Church located near the former St. Mary’s.

Trinity High School

Trinity High School opened in 1928 when the parish administration of Holy Trinity saw the need to open a new facility due to public demand for Catholic higher education

Central Catholic High School

Trinity High School's name was changed to Central Catholic in 1967 when the Catholic Diocese of Peoria requested that Epiphany Parish of Normal and St. Patrick’s Parish of Merna join Trinity, St. Mary’s, and Historical St. Patrick’s parishes in Bloomington in governing and subsidizing Catholic high school education in Bloomington-Normal. Central Catholic provided a sound education with plenty of religious training. The facility at 712 N. Center St. was torn down in 2005 after Central Catholic moved into a spacious location at 1201 Airport Road along Bloomington's east side in the fall of 2003.
