Located in the middle of Cuyahoga County, Cleveland Central Catholic is a co-educational, comprehensive school for students in grades 9 through 12.
With an enrollment of about 543 students, CCC is large enough to provide ample opportunities for student activities while also being small enough for each student to be known by name.
The school offers a wide variety of activities that provide our students with safe and fun ways to develop skills and make friends for life.
Cleveland Central Catholic was formed by the merger of four Roman Catholic Cleveland high schools - St. John Cantius, Lourdes Central, St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Stanislaus. CCC's first year of operation was the scholastic year. The consolidation of the Scranton Campus (St. Michael's) and the Forman Campus (St. Stanislaus) took place in 2003, completing the transition into a one-campus school with all activities on the St. Stanislaus block in Slavic Village.For additional information regarding the school community, please visit the school's website here.
