Each year, Catholic New York publishes this guide to show all that our archdiocesan high schools have to offer. Clockwise from top, the foundation of education is our faith, shown here when each spring graduates celebrate with Cardinal Dolan at an annual special Mass just for them. Extra curricular activities, such as the regional New York Catholic Youth Day and the marching band program at Cathedral High School, show students how to take their talents to an evangelization outside the classroom. But it is in the classroom, as shown during an algebra class at , that religious and lay staff foster a love of learning that will take students to and beyond.
