Cathedral Catholic High School has some very serious problems with that make me unable to recommend this school with a clear conscience. The most troubling issue is that the administration has consistently shown a hostility towards students, which is a constant issue.

Also academically the school has slipped, CCHS was known as the elite tier of academics in the region, with many students going to ivy-league caliber schools. Now it is more likely for a student to be receiving an sports scholarship to an SEC school for football then to be getting straight "A's"

Finally, the atmosphere is something that has changed for the worse, former alumni are coming less and less to events, and donations from young alumni has declined dramatically.If a parents need a good school in North County, Torrey Pines HS and Canyon Crest will more then suffice, and if parents insist on private school, Saint Augustines (all boys), Our Lady of Peace (all girls), and Bishops or Marian (co-ed), are much better value and environment.

I sincerely hope that CCHS can reverse the negative trend that has occurred in the last 5-7 years, until then however, this institution will not be receiving a dollar from me. Close Quote
