Descriptiontext

Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School is a private Catholic secondary institution operating under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids at 319 Sheldon Blvd SE, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded in 1906 through the consolidation of four parish high schools, it is the oldest co-educational diocesan Catholic high school in the United States, with Catholic education in the city tracing back to 1833. The school currently enrolls 572 students and draws from 90+ feeder middle schools across West Michigan, offering 16 AP courses, 13 honors courses, a Cognia STEM-certified curriculum, 27 athletic programs, 60+ co-curricular activities, Campus Ministry, Fine Arts, and a Career Connections alumni mentorship program. It holds Cognia STEM certification, Gold status on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll, and a Michigan Historical Marker installed in October 2023.

The business model is a multi-stream nonprofit operating budget anchored by recurring tuition (annual billing, with the Catholic Promise subsidy and need-based aid — the CC Fund offsets $2,000 per student for 100% of the base and 46% receive additional assistance). Secondary revenue includes annual fundraising events (Gloriam gala raising $400K+ in 2024, CC Day raising $80K+ in 2025, Serve-a-thon raising $92K+ in 2023), a Cebelak Foundation major-gift match, and an endowment fund underwriting 41 endowed scholarships (39 for current students, 2 for college-bound seniors). GTM is sales-led, relying on campus tours, open houses, and outreach to feeder middle schools through the OnBoard admissions platform. The school is led by President Greg Deja (since 2024) and Principal Abby Kanitz '02 (since 2025), operates with a Board of Directors, and maintains a 15,000+ alumni network engaged through the biannual Inside CC magazine and Career Connections.
