​CCHS Expands its Music Program

Central Catholic High School announced the expansion of its Performing Arts program. Beginning in the fall, Central will add a String Ensemble and electives in Music Theory and Songwriting.

The String Ensemble is the latest of Central Catholic’s performance-based initiatives, which include the Marching and Concert Band, Blue Knights Jazz Band, Jazz Combo, Chamber Singers, and Concert Choir. These performance groups offered as classes give Central the most comprehensive and diverse music program of all Catholic high schools in the region.

With The Campaign for Central Catholic: Together in Faith, Scholarship, and Service underway and the construction of a new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) building about to begin, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement that these areas generate. However, Central Catholic remains committed to its Lasallian identity of providing “education for all” with a strong focus on the humanities.

Mr. Joseph Wilson, Chair of the Performing Arts Department, said, “While we are focusing on STEM with the addition of a new facility, the administration is certainly not neglecting the arts. We continue to build a foundation in the Catholic tradition and an understanding of what it means to be human.”
