Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has applied to be a member of the Class of 2023!

If you haven't submitted your application, please click here and do so.

  • Once your application is approved, you'll receive information for online registration.

  • Once your online registration is received, I'll send you SignUp Genius link to set up your Registration Meeting.

Registration Meetings start next week and these are by appointment only through the SignUp Genius. These are the times that our counselors have set aside specifically for you. Once we go past March 13, you'll need to work directly with a counselor to set up your meeting:
Monday, March 4, 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Tuesday, March 5, 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Monday, March 11, 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, March 13, 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

If you submitted your application and have not received an acceptance e-mail with a link to online registration, that means we are waiting to hear from your current school regarding grades and discipline. Once we have that information, we can move forward with the approval process.

Read all the way through this edition to catch up on our athletic teams and find out what's coming up.

Remember, whenever you have questions or need more information, feel free to call/text me at 309-533-2200 - my phone is always on. If e-mail works better for you, send me your questions at svogel@blmcchs.org .

Helpful (I hope) Explanations
Application Form Information
The  Application Form  can be filled out now (in fact, several of you already have). Your application is a formal indication that you wish to register at Central Catholic High School. If you are strongly considering, or know you want to come to, Central Catholic High School, fill out the application.

Registration Form Information
Every family whose application is approved will be e-mailed a link to our online registration portal through Skyward. Please understand that this is our first attempt at online registration and, while we have tested it, there could still be some minor bumps in the road.

Registration Meeting Information
Once we receive confirmation that you've submitted your online registration, we'll send a second e-mail, this time with a link to the Registration Meeting SignUp Genius. These meetings will take place March 4, 5, 11 and 13 at a variety of times (see schedule above). Our Counselors are dedicating their time to you on these dates. After March 13, Registration Meetings will be scheduled directly with the Counselors and availability will be more limited.

What Happens At A Registration Meeting
When you come for your Registration Meeting, you'll turn in your signed Drug Testing Release and Student Handbook form (printed from online registration) along with your $300 commitment fee. The non-refundable commitment fee ensures your student's place in the Central Catholic Class of 2023 and will be credited to your tuition expense.

You'll then meet with one of our Counselors to determine what classes your student will take in the fall. The Counselors will use current grades and results from the High School Placement Test to determine a preliminary roster of classes. They will go over their class suggestions with you and you will have opportunity for input. Once you leave the counselor's office, you'll be officially enrolled and have a plan for the coming school year.

Additional Questions? Call/text/e-mail me and we'll work it out. Thank you for your interest in Central Catholic High School!
What's Going On At Central Catholic?
While time is certainly flying by for you as 8th grade parents, it's also on a pretty quick pace here!

First a look back . . .
Girls' Basketball
Our Girls' Basketball team won Central Catholic's first-ever 3A Regional Championship. We've won several 1A and 2A Regional Championships, but this was the first against the much bigger schools in 3A.
Boys' Basketball
Boys' Basketball also accomplished a first - the team's first Illini Prairie Conference Championship along with a 2A Regional Championship AND tonight at 7:00 in Tolono, they open Sectional play.
Boys' Swimming
Some big firsts from Swimming as well. The team won their first Illini Prairie Conference Invitational Meet and Lucas Williamson '20 became the first Saints swimmer to swim in the State Swim Meet.
And now a look forward . . .
