The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland was founded on April 23, 1847. Under the leadership of the Most Reverend Edward C. Malesic, Bishop of Cleveland, it is the 23rd largest diocese in the United States and encompasses the counties of Cuyahoga, Summit, Lorain, Lake, Geauga, Medina, Wayne, and Ashland. There are approximately 700,000 Catholics in the Diocese, and Catholic Charities-Diocese of Cleveland is one of the largest diocesan systems of social services in the world. There are 185 parishes, 110 Catholic schools, 1 pastoral center, and 1 mission office within the Diocese.

Please go to our website, www.dioceseofcleveland.org, for more information about the mission, persons, and ministries of our diocese.

Located in the middle of Cuyahoga County, Cleveland Central Catholic is a co-educational, comprehensive school for students in grades 9 through 12. With an enrollment of about 543 students, CCC is large enough to provide ample opportunities for student activities while also being small enough for each student to be known by name. The school offers a wide variety of activities that provide our students with safe and fun ways to develop skills and make friends for life.

Cleveland Central Catholic was formed by the merger of four Roman Catholic Cleveland high schools - St. John Cantius, Lourdes Central, St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Stanislaus. CCC’s first year of operation was the 1969-70 scholastic year. The consolidation of the Scranton Campus (St. Michael’s) and the Forman Campus (St. Stanislaus) took place in 2003, completing the transition into a one-campus school with all activities on the St. Stanislaus block in Slavic Village.
