PARENTS
The day your child first walked through the front doors as a student, your family immediately became a part of the Central Catholic community. Your energy is an essential part of the spirit that emanates throughout the Central Catholic corridors and beyond.
From being able to check your child’s grades on-line to finding time to give as a volunteer, the links at the right should help you stay involved in your child’s Central Catholic experience.

Grants
Annually the Parent Association awards Grants to teachers, advisors, and counselors within our school to help benefit students in the school environment and enhance their learning experience in our community. The PAB selects grants from internal applications to touch a diverse range of students not supported by other groups (athletics, RAM Boosters, etc.) In the past year the Parent Association provided the funds to purchase graphing calculators for the math department, a sound system for the technology lab, digital camera for the yearbook and newspaper, video camera for activities, equipment for the drum line, college planning software for the college counselor/department, special molecular biology supplies, sweatshirts for all freshmen attending e “get acquainted” event, Senior All-Night Party funding, and more. This is very rewarding—we welcome you to get involved.
Come, meet, and get involved with your Parent Association! We meet the second Wednesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. Learn what is ing on at school, what is ahead, and how you can help. We welcome your input and new perspective. Go RAMS!
