Technology & Devices

At Catholic Central, technology plays an important role in supporting teaching, learning, and student success. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing students with the tools and resources they need to thrive in today’s digital world. Catholic Central is a BYOD (bring your own device) campus, and all students must purchase or bring an existing device to school every day.

Students use laptops throughout their classes to access email, digital textbooks, assignments, educational resources, and other learning tools. With reliable Wi-Fi available throughout our classrooms and campus, students and teachers can stay connected to the resources that enhance and extend learning beyond the traditional classroom.

Along with providing access to technology, we believe in teaching students to use it wisely, safely, and responsibly. Our IT Team monitors and supports the school network to help maintain a secure digital learning environment and ensure that technology remains a positive and productive part of the Catholic Central experience.

We are proud to support a learning environment where faith, education, innovation, and technology come together to prepare our students for success in college, career, and beyond.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting the Catholic Central Technology page!

MyCC

Catholic Central uses a web portal called "MyCC" for its students, parents, faculty, and alumni to access information tailor-made for each person. For parents used to Google Classroom you will recognize many of the features that MyCC has to offer.

For a student, they will use MyCC to access their schedule, teacher pages, homework assignments, grades, and extracurricular group information.
For parents, they can log into MyCC to access their sons schedule, grades, conduct, and report any absences. They can also view the school calendar more in-depth.
For alumni, they can log into MyCC to see future alumni reunions and events coming up and register for them. They can also update their personal profile and view the alumni directory to network with classmates or alumni in a similar business field.

Everyone in MyCC can tailor their experience to their preferences. Everyone can subscribe to news alerts via email or text message for any specific program at the school (i.e. football or robotics) or subscribe to be alerted to all news updates from the school. They can opt-in or out from communications, and set their own personal privacy settings to determine how other users can interact with them. We take privacy very seriously at CC and have set in place safeguards to ensure the integrity of our students/family information. By default all of this information is kept separated from alumni information.

To learn more, please log into MyCC and go to the Resource Board and view our tutorial videos or web documents about MyCC.
