Archdiocese of BAltimore Department of Catholic Schools 320 Cathedral Street Baltimore, MD 21201 1-800-5-CATHOLIC [www.archbalt.org/schools](www.archbalt.org/schools) Dear Student: Congratulations on the impending completion of your elementary/middle school education! While the eighth grade is a year filled with great excitement and joy marking the conclusion of your primary education, it can also be a time of anticipation and even anxiety. Your high school education awaits you and many important decisions lie ahead that require careful and thoughtful consideration. I applaud you for considering a Catholic high school to continue your education. We are extremely proud of the Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the successful records of the thousands of students who, once in your shoes, chose a Catholic high school and continue to benefit from their Catholic secondary education. Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore boast a 97 percent graduation rate and 95 percent of those students attend college. A 2010 study determined that graduates of Catholic schools earn $250,000 more over their lifetime than their public school counterparts. While impressive, statistics don’t fully capture the Catholic high school experience. By choosing one of our schools, you can expect to receive an academically-excellent education taught in a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your unique gifts and talents are challenged allowing you the chance to grow to your full potential. While each Catholic highschool has something different to offer, each one is a place where you will grow as a student, an individual and as a future leader in our society. I hope you find this guide helpful in learning about each of our wonderful Catholic high schools and about the step-by-step process for receiving an education in a Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Should you or your parents have any questions, you will find the contact information for each school inside these pages. Be assured of my prayers for you during this exciting and hope-filled time. I hope to see you in a Catholic high school next fall!
