IB Policies

Philosophy

One of the major educational themes at Catholic Central High School, and of IB, is that of teaching and reinforcing responsible citizenship.  Thus, it is expected that students behave in a positive way in order to reinforce self-respect, respect for others, and respect for property. Another major theme is the promotion of excellence in everything we do, from curricular to co-curricular activities.
