What Cardinal Mooney High School does

Cardinal Mooney High School is a private, nonprofit Catholic secondary institution located at 2545 Erie Street, Youngstown, Ohio, founded in 1956 and operating as part of the diocesan Catholic educational system. It delivers faith-based, college-preparatory secondary education to an Average Daily Membership of 345 students as of October 2025 and is fully accredited by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. The student base is recruited through a direct-to-consumer enrollment funnel that includes shadow days, prospective parent nights, placement tests, open houses, and summer K-8 camp programs that serve as feeders into the high school.

The school's core product set comprises an academic program (Honors and Advanced Placement coursework plus an integrated STEAM track spanning science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), a comprehensive athletics program (football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, track and field, tennis, bowling, cheerleading), Campus Ministry for faith formation and service, and a portfolio of summer enrichment camps covering athletics, STEAM, art, baking, and an entry-level Camp Little Cardinals experience. Technology infrastructure is entirely third-party SaaS rather than proprietary: PowerSchool powers the parent/student information portal, FACTS handles tuition billing, payment plans, and grant-and-aid administration, Naviance supports college and career planning, and Final Forms manages administrative paperwork. The Cardinal's Nest merchandise storefront is hosted on Shopify, and the school maintains an active social presence on Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Revenue is generated from three streams: recurring tuition and fees (the primary stream, billed annually with financial assistance available through the school's aid process and the Ohio EdChoice Scholarship), one-time payments for summer enrichment camps, and ancillary income from Athletic Boosters fundraising events (cornhole tournaments, bingo, golf outings) and branded merchandise. Tuition is not publicly disclosed. The institution is governed by a 2025-26 Board of Directors with no disclosed external investor, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity; it is structurally a tax-exempt nonprofit operating entity.
