On Tuesday, May 24, the 164^th class of graduates from Central Catholic High School made their final appearance as members of the student body as they entered Bill Greehey Arena at St. Mary’s University. Both, the Baccalaureate and Commencement, ceremonies were a time of celebration. The Class of 2016 distinguished its academic power with the impressive number of scholarships and academic awards its members garnished. Overall, the 131 graduates were offered college scholarships totaling more than $11 million. What a fantastic accomplishment! More than 800 parents, family members, and friends came to show their support for the graduates Tuesday evening.
