I thought it fitting to do my 100th *yelp review on my Alma Matter, Central Catholic. I can't say enough about CCHS. As a strong and positive presence in this otherwise drab end of Toledo, CCHS has really improved its neighborhood and own campus over the last few years.

CCHS is the largest co-ed Catholic High School in Toledo, with nearly 2000 students. It accelerates in special education as well as college preparatory classes, as well as sports, the arts, and computer technology. CCHS offers a plethora of scholarships and work-study options, and is open to students of all backgrounds
