Diversity
There are no resources or collections to display
Graduating seniors of Detroit Catholic Central are formed over their four years in the Basilian tradition of goodness, discipline, and knowledge. Diversity is woven into the full Catholic Central experience, providing students with opportunities to better know themselves and their fellow Shamrocks. Catholic values, combined with our Basilian tradition, advance mutual respect and brotherhood among students.
At Catholic Central, our responsibility for forming young men in excellence is inseparable from our dedication to diversity. Catholic Central remains committed to these concepts to ensure that our school is a welcoming community for families of all backgrounds.
