Cretin-Derham Hall

At Cretin-Derham Hall, we believe each and every student should be encouraged to grow in his or her faith and be afforded opportunities to excel academically. Our private, Catholic high school provides an affordable, value-centered education with an all-inclusive approach. We welcome young men and women of diverse abilities, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds and prepare them for a post-secondary education and life after high school. God made us in His image and likeness, and so we open our doors to all colors, creeds, and classes. We serve the promising, not just the privileged. We educate the deserving, not just the destined.

We strive to build a community based on our values, focused on our mission, and preserving our vision. Cretin-Derham Hall is a Catholic co-educational high school, co-sponsored by the Brothers of the Christian Schools and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, committed to Christian values and academic excellence in grades nine through twelve. We will educate young men and women of diverse abilities, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds for opportunities in post-secondary education.

Our values guide our daily actions and focus our efforts in creating ethical students who are prepared for the world.
