Gross Catholic High School

Gross Catholic Academy Excellence Initiative

Our amazing academies are delivering rigorous, mission-driven education that equips our students with opportunities for college credit, advanced coursework, and transformative learning experiences. Our students can be part of the Health Science Academy, Business Academy, or Education Academy.

Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, we will have 13 teachers delivering dual-enrollment courses aligned with the Academies, with 3 teachers leading Advanced Placement (AP) courses. This growth demonstrates both commitment and momentum, but also highlights the needed financial support to maintain instructional quality and program expansion.

NEW for 2026-27 Dux Esto Academy

• Starting with sophomore year, students can follow a track to complete their associate’s degree in liberal arts while completing their high school education.
• Dual enrollment courses completed provide a head start on college degree completion
• Students receive enhanced college and career readiness through academic rigor and mentorship.

To ensure excellence, we must invest in the following:

• Teacher Retention and Competitive Salaries: Attracting and retaining highly qualified educators is fundamental to student success.
• Advanced Credentials and Professional Development: Supporting teachers in earning advanced degrees strengthens instructional quality and ensures students receive college-level preparation.
• Experiential Learning Opportunities: Field trips, career exploration experiences and enrichment activities are critical components of our Academy programming, connecting classroom learning to real-world application.
