ACAD Catholic High School Directory

While similar, each Catholic high school is different with its unique mission, curriculum, and extracurricular opportunities. As you consider your options, use this Catholic High School Directory presented by the Association of Catholic Admission Directors to find the right school for you!
The Association of Catholic Admission Directors (ACAD) is proud to present the 2024-2025 Catholic High School Directory. This directory is a collaborative effort of the Admission Directors from the 20 ACAD member high schools within the Diocese of Cleveland.

Each Catholic high school provides an outstanding education within the context of the Catholic faith tradition. While similar, each school  is different with its unique mission, curriculum and extracurricular opportunities. As you consider your options, we recommend reviewing  the grid on pages 6 and 7 for an overview of each school, then directly contacting the schools for more information. We also recommend that you attend Open Houses and other programs offered by the individual schools.

The timeline below outlines important dates that apply to eighth graders enrolled in a Catholic school in the Diocese of Cleveland.  Students not enrolled in a Catholic school should contact the high school(s) in which they are interested to learn about specific deadlines  and admissions procedures/requirements. Some of this information can be found on pages 6 and 7 of this directory. Thank you for allowing us to help you choose a Catholic high school. Our contact information is listed on pages 4 and 5. Please let us know how we can be of further assistance.

Students and families submit their high school applications through their elementary schools, which process each applicant’s file. Once  the student’s application is received by his/her “first-choice” high school, that school many initiate contact with the student and family to clarify any issues. Schools that  notify students by U.S. Mail may drop their letters in the mail at noon on February 5, 2025. Schools that notify students by electronic/social media means may do so  beginning at 3 p.m. on February 6,2025.
