I was born with the spirit of the Cathedral Irish already in my heart. Since my family has been around Cathedral for quite a while, I was familiar with the school even before I began my freshman year. Cathedral, however, was not really my own until I stepped my foot inside and became involved. Then no one could take her away from me. Cathedral High School is unique because no one gets lost in the crowd. All of my classmates were recognized for their unique personalities and special known talents. At Cathedral, everyone has a chance to shine. Through orientation, academics, athletics, and the many clubs offered, Cathedral allowed us to be active and involved. With each new activity I undertook, I gained self confidence and a new friend. Perhaps one of the greatest values I have taken from Cathedral is the spiritual guidance she gave me. Through religion classes, talks with teachers, and retreat experiences, I was able to strengthen my faith while still in high school. orld Mission Sunday is the One of Cathedral’s greatest assets is her faculty. I feel strongly that the WORLD Wspecial occasion every year teachers at Cathedral High School truly care about their students.
