Catholic Central High School (Marinette, Wisconsin)
- Catholic Central High School (Marinette, Wisconsin)
Catholic Central High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Marinette, Wisconsin. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay.
Background
Marinette Catholic Central High School, now part of the St. Thomas Aquinas system of Catholic day schools, was founded when the four Marinette parishes of St. Joseph, Sacred Heart, St. Anthony, and Our Lady of Lourdes, assumed joint control of the former Our Lady of Lourdes High School.
The school's roots go back to 1876, when St. Mary's Institute was opened with a handful of female pupils, many of them from local Irish families. During the next 50 years, the school underwent several transformations. By World War I it was a co-ed school. At one time, the school building at 1200 Main Street included a grade school, but by the 1960s, when enrollment swelled with Baby Boomers, the building was solely used as a high school.
Academics
Catholic Central has been known for its solid academic program. During its high-enrollment period, the school was known for its drama program, Windsor Players, and its choral music program.
Athletics
In 1964, under the leadership of Coach Marty Crowe, the scrappy Catholic Central Cavaliers basketball team defeated powerful Appleton Xavier to win the Catholic state basketball championship.
In 2003, Catholic Central and nearby Lena High School combined their football teams. This unique arrangement is allowed under Wisconsin rules and creates opportunities for students that may not be available if the schools were forced to shutdown their program.

Catholic Central has consistently garnered support from the entire Marinette-Menominee-Peshtigo community. On two occasions when poor finances might have meant closure, the community stepped forward to provide financial support.
