In 1963 a Queens’ branch was established in Elmhurst, NY. The two sites merged at the Elmhurst location in 1985. Founded as a preparatory high school, Cathedral was also a seminary; a place where a boy who expressed an interest in discerning a vocation to the diocesan priesthood at an early age would feel comfortable. For a 100 years Cathedral has stayed faithful to its mission: form the mind in the ways of academic excellence and the heart and soul in the ways of heroic virtue and belief. Proud to call 4700 men graduates, the program at Cathedral continues to offer everyone of its students a personalized, superior education in an environment where growth in maturity and grace are fostered and encouraged. Keenly aware of the challenges we face as a Church and in the society in which we live, the Cathedral man is prepared to be both a gifted thinker and a generous servant. Whether our graduates don the vestments of pastoral service as priests or deacons or devote themselves to caring for an individual family, a young man who experiences the Cathedral spirit will be ready and willing to be a Man for Greatness. WEARE CATHEDRAL MEN MADE FOR GREATNESS PRAYER FOR THE COURAGE TO BE GREAT Heavenly Father, Give me the courage to strive for the highest goals, to flee every temptation to be mediocre. Enable me to aspire to greatness, as Pier Giorgio did, and to open my heart with joy to Your call to holiness. Free me from the fear of failure. I want to be, Lord, firmly and forever united to You. Grant me the graces I ask You through Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati’s intercession, By the merits ofOur Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was born in 1901 in Turin, Italy. While his time on earth was short, 24 years, he lived his days with passion and joy. A model ofvirtue, Pope John Paul II called him “a man of the beatitudes.” Athletic, outgoing and faith-filled his attention was turned outward towards the needs of others. Striving for holiness he put his trust in God “in whom all things are possible.” CONTENTS Personal Class Schedule ................ back of front cover Student’s Title Page .............................. 1 Login Information ............................... 2 Foreword ..................................... 3 Administration, Faculty and Staff ..................... 6 Spiritual Program ............................... 8 Academic Program .............................. 11 Course of Study Regents Examinations Honors & Report Cards Tuition & Scholarships Promotion & Graduation Information Requirements for Graduation Honors and Vianney Placement Policy Policy on Advancement in Math and Science Standardized Testing Program Marking Periods Homework Policy Cheating Student Life 20 Personal Lockers Physical Education Lockers Physical Education Uniforms Elevator Transportation Passes School Parking Lot Directives for Students ............................ 22 Bullying Policy ................................. 35 Cathedral Prep Behavior Rubric ...................... 36 Teams and Activities ............................. 38 Parental Request Form ............................ 39 Handbook Agreement ............................. 40 Prayers ....................................... 41 School Calendar 2018-2019......................... 47 Bell Schedule ........................
