Peninsula Catholic High School

Peninsula Catholic High School has been our 5 sons' 2nd 'home' since 1999. Its the school of our choice because it is academically outstanding and for its Catholic 'environment' which produces good men and women. Our family is honored to be part of Peninsula Catholic's tradition of excellence in all aspects of life!!!

Peninsula Catholic is a college preparatory school whose students have found success beyond their high school years thanks to a strong foundation and high expectations. We are proud of our Catholic roots, but warmly welcome students from all faith traditions. We are a school dedicated to service in the local community, nation-wide, and across the globe. Last year, just over 300 students committed over 11,000 service hours and over $12,000 to those in need. Our parents choose Peninsula Catholic because they are prepared to invest in their student s future, even if it means financial sacrifice. PC has a student body that is readily accepting of others and ready to help each other in any way they can. The faculty is dedicated to their students in the classroom and through their invovement with many extra-curricular activities. Each year the administration strives to incorporate new programs and enhance the current offerings so that students have the best chance of success once they leave the halls of PC. There is no doubt that Peninsula Catholic is the finest private school on the peninsula and I am proud to be a part of this long-standing (108 year) tradition.

My son has been at this school for two years now and I am happy I made the decision to send him here. The school climate is one that encourages leadership from all students. They are very accepting of individuality. The students are very supportive of each other. I have heard many students and parents as describing the school as feeling like family.

PCHS is one of the most accepting, loving and nurturing environment you will find. All students are accepted for who they are and treated the same. All students are given the same opportunities and chances to succeed. The new principal (principal for 4 years now) is great and the school is growing. With students from all faith denominations represented, PC remains a school rooted deep in Catholicism that offers all its students a stellar education.

We knew we made the right high school choice when our college-aged children came home and thanked us for the education they got at PCHS! They were amazed at how far ahead of their classmates they were in research and writing skills, as well as in science and mathematics!

This school has a horrible mathematics program. Students here should be encouraged to forgo taking math courses here, and take them in college instead. A few of the religious members of the students and faculty do not respect the non-Catholic or atheist students. If you want your child to grow in faith, do not send them here. The only two ways that your child's faith will be altered is in the closing of their mind, or in making them atheist or severely doubt the existence of a God (happened to me and a lot of others).
