CCHS is working with Cardinal Stritch to evaluate transportation needs and explore what options may be available. Please share your family's transportation needs with the Admission's Office as you consider transferring to CCHS.

AVI provides breakfast and lunch options for purchase. Students are also welcome to pack their own lunch.

CCHS uniforms include khaki pants or, for girls, a red-and-gray plaid skirt, along with a red or white crested polo from the Shamrock Shop. We understand that purchasing new uniforms can be an added expense. Families will have a grace period to acquire CCHS uniform pieces, and some gently used donated items are available. Ask the Admission's Office about the grace period and available items.

CCHS offers clubs, athletic teams, performing arts, and student leadership opportunities. See the Sports, Clubs & Socials document under Quick Links on our Cardinal Stritch family webpage for the full list. Share your student's interests with the Admission's Office so we can help you explore the next steps. For athletic teams, the eligibility guidance below still applies.

OHSAA has identified transfer options for Cardinal Stritch students that may allow athletic eligibility to continue at a new school. Eligibility depends on the transfer date, the student's participation history, and the applicable OHSAA requirements. Our school team will coordinate the required application and review your student's situation. Enrollment alone does not establish athletic eligibility.

Speak with the CCHS Athletic Director (Greg Dempsey, gdempsey@centralcatholic.org) before your student plays in a regular-season winter contest at Cardinal Stritch if they hope to continue that sport at CCHS during the same season. A separate midseason rule may prevent that participation, even if a school-closing transfer exception is approved. Share the sport, competition level, and any contests already played so the school can obtain the appropriate eligibility review.
