Cathedral Catholic High Coach

What Cathedral Catholic High Coach does

Cathedral Catholic High School is a private, coeducational Catholic college preparatory day school serving grades 9-12 at a single Carmel Valley campus (5555 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego, California). Founded in 1957 on Linda Vista Road and relocated to its current campus in 2005-2006, the school operates as a non-profit (EIN 51-0464013) under the Diocese of San Diego and offers a college-preparatory curriculum with honors, AP, dual enrollment, and summer school acceleration/remediation options. Its athletics program spans 40+ sports and was ranked #1 in California and #8 nationally in 2026, producing multiple CIF championships and a first-ever SRAA National Championship in rowing.

The school's technology stack is built entirely on integrated third-party EdTech platforms rather than proprietary systems: PowerSchool as the Student Information System for attendance, schedules, and official grades; Schoology as the Learning Management System for course assignments and gradebooks; Naviance for college, career, and success planning; Blackbaud for advancement, donations, and tuition; and HomeCampus for athletic clearance. The Dons Network — a subscription video streaming service ($9.99/month) powered by VHX/Vimeo and distributed across web, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Fire TV, and Chromecast — broadcasts All-School Masses, sporting events, and academic/campus content. Counseling and wellness are augmented through a partnership with Evolve Therapy San Diego, providing on-campus individual, group, family, and crisis services at no incremental cost.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across tuition (primary but not cost-covering), philanthropic support (Annual Appeal 'This Is Our House,' Wine and Microbrew Tasting, Dons Golf Classic), endowment income, summer school ($1,000 semester / $2,000 yearlong plus $200 processing fee), College Camp ($399/student for rising seniors), the campus store (apparel and merchandise), and Dons Network subscriptions. Go-to-market is enrollment-driven via website inquiry forms and campus visits, with brand reinforcement through athletics visibility, alumni events (reunions, Alumni Golf Tournament, Academy of Distinguished Dons, Sports Hall of Fame), and organic social channels. The school operates a hybrid segmentation approach spanning primary segments of high school students, families/parents, alumni, and student-athletes.
