Changes

Changes in dioceses, shifts in populations, enrollment increases with public school crowding then decreases as those problems were remedied, combined with the ever-increasing cost-of-living and rising school operational expenses have been the challenges CHS has faced over the past 61 years. The face of Catholic High School has changed in many ways since first opening its doors on Garden Street in September of 1941 but the spirit and community which have always characterized CHS remain the same. With the continued support of its alumni, parents, and alumni parents, the support of the Diocese, and of a caring, dedicated faculty, Catholic High looks forward confidently to a future of hope and promise. Its commitment to the Pensacola community--to provide quality value-based education infused with the teachings of the Gospel--began with 180 students and has grown to touch the lives of over 7,300 men and women who currently reside in all fifty states and 18 foreign countries. The face of our community has changed much in the past 61 years but our Mission and our commitment remain the same--to develop responsible Christian individuals by providing the finest in Catholic education.
