Seniors Last Week of Classes
This is the last week of classes for our Seniors and it culminates with our annual support and hosting of the Special Olympics Young Athletes on Friday. AP Testing is also going on this week and Senior Finals are next Monday and Tuesday (May 14-15). It's hard to believe we're 13 days away from sending the Class of 2018 on its way at Graduation.
We Have A Calendar!
The 2018-19 School Year Calendar is a Google doc this year. It's not quite complete and will be updated regularly (especially through this month), so check back often.

ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS
We have a few Senior-specific points of interest for the final weeks:
  • If you graduated from Central Catholic and have a graduating senior this year, we invite you to act as an Honor Graduate. Honor Grads are a Central Catholic tradition so please consider representing your school. E-mail Kevin Cook or give him a call at 661-7000, ext. 303 to be an Honor Grad.
  • DEADLINE FRIDAY: ​Please mark your calendars for the Senior Class Honors Day Luncheon on Thursday, May 17. Lunch begins immediately after the 11:00 a.m. award ceremony. The cost of the luncheon is $15 per parent, and the Seniors are our honored guests. Due to space restrictions, we cannot accommodate siblings or other additional guests and we need your reservation by FRIDAY, May 11. RSVP to Jill Fitzwater at (309) 661-7000 and we will bill your FACTS account or you can get us a check, made out to CCHS.

  • College admission offices require an official copy of each admitted student’s final transcript showing verification of graduation and the final semester’s grades. Students who will be college athletes at a Division I, Division II, or NAIA school will also need their final transcript sent to the NACC or NAIA Eligibility Center. Final transcripts are mailed (or directly uploaded in some cases) as soon as all grades are processed and final (around June 4th). Please make sure that your account is paid in full, as transcripts cannot be sent if there is an outstanding balance.
  • All Senior parents should have received this Senior Countdown with more important dates and information. 
Help Us Complete Our Class of 2022
We continue to receive applications for next year's freshman class. If you know of 8th grade students who would like to come to Central Catholic, talk to them and share your Saints experience. Then feel free to share my cell phone number (309-533-2200) and e-mail with them. All NEW students must apply before a registration form is filled out. The new student road to Central Catholic starts here.
Freshman - Junior Finals Week Schedule
Here is the schedule for Final Exams for our Freshmen - Juniors. For a $5.00 donation, a dress code pass may be purchased starting Monday, May 14 and is valid for all three days. A dress code pass allows your student to wear comfortable, appropriate clothing for Finals.
  • As with any school day, your student is required to be here from the opening bell until the end of the day. There are two exceptions:
  • Study Hall: If your student does not have an exam because of a Study Hall during that period and wants to leave campus, a parent must call to excuse the student and the student must return in time for the next exam.
  • Lunch: During finals, students have Open Lunch. Parent permission is not required to go off campus for lunch. Our cafeteria will stock sandwiches, chips and other light lunch options if students opt to stay at school. Lunch may also be ordered to be delivered to the school and paid for on delivery by the student(s).  (Please remind your student to tip the delivery person). Often times, a group will go in together to place an order.
