Catholic Central High School is a coeducational, college preparatory
school, which, while grounded in tradition, prepares its students for
their future. The school promotes academic achievement within the
context of Catholic/Christian values. Through its program of
Character/Peace Education, Catholic Central High School supports the
development of the whole person and the unique gifts of the individual,
and the formation of caring relationships, all based on the example of
Jesus.

Catholic Central High School was founded in September, 1923 by Bishop Edmund F. Gibbons, at the request of the Pastors from the parishes in Troy, Watervliet and Green Island. The school was located on Eighth Street in Troy before moving to its present location at 116th Street and Seventh Avenue in North Troy. The original Catholic Central High School has now become part of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The first principal was Father Burns. The student body numbered 525
students. The first class graduated in June, 1924 and numbered
thirty-two. When the doors reopened in September, 1924, there were 1,046
students registered in the high school.

In 1953, Catholic Central purchased the Cluett & Peabody building. It had been used for experimental purposes in the field of textile research as a miniature textile mill.

Beginning September, 1954, Catholic Central High School was relocated
to its present-day campus in North Troy. In 1957, where once lay a
vacant lot, soon became the Monsignor Burns Gymnasium. The basketball
team no longer had to play its “home” games “away”. Today, the gymnasium
houses not only the gym but cafeteria, stage for dramatic productions, a
3,500-square-foot (330 m2) weight room and band room.

Catholic Central High School educates students in grades 7-12 and
offers a college preparatory/Regents curriculum along with the
University at the High School program under the direction of the State University of New York at Albany. Advanced placement courses are also offered in several disciplines.

Christopher Bott, the most recent principal of the institution has
brought about many positive changes to the school atmosphere, including a
new practice field, more coaching staff, and upgrades to the building
infrastructure.
