Kevin

Welcome from President Kevin Smith

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Cathedral Preparatory School. Faculty, staff, administration, and our board envisioned the opportunities of bringing together two outstanding Catholic college preparatory schools and the legacy of two Christ-centered communities. These individuals also envisioned the ambitious and innovative additions and renovations made to our campus and the world-class opportunities these would create for our students.

Cathedral Prep is a Catholic school where students are well-known and encouraged to grow in spirit, mind, and body. We provide outstanding opportunities through our campus ministry, academic, arts, and athletics programs for students to explore their talents and interests, and especially to grow in faith and morals. We are also an inclusive and equitable community where we are Christ for each other as we include and appreciate each other.

Like me, I hope you will take the time to come to campus because seeing is believing. After my first visit, I had to join the Prep community. I look forward to meeting you in person and sharing our story. We know you will see firsthand why we love our school so much, and we think you will as well.

In gratitude,

Kevin M. Smith

President
