Catholic New York is here to help as you prepare your child for the next step. Inside this guide you’ll find information on courses, clubs, activities and sports programs for the 49 archdiocesan high schools. The date and time of open houses are included in each profile, along with the school’s website and contact information. Each school is accredited by the New York State Board of Regents, with many schools receiving other distinctions. Most schools require the Test for Admission to Catholic High Schools (TACHS). The test will be administered in the archdiocese on Friday, Nov. 8. For more information, see story on Page 19B. 2B CATHOLIC NEW YORK’S HIGH SCHOOL GUIDE September 5, 2013
