 Welcome to the online home of Grand Island Central Catholic School. Located in Grand Island, Nebraska, we invite you to visit these pages and learn what we’re all about; and we think you’ll agree, we are committed to, and we produce excellence. The proof is in our students! Founded in 1956, we are proud to be one of the top college prep schools in Central Nebraska. We offer a Catholic faith-based education in which students participate in weekly Mass as well as explore their faith within theology classes. We welcome students of all faiths to join together with us. Central Catholic is committed to excellence in academic achievement, Christian values formation, athletics, fine arts, and community service. Above all, we are dedicated to producing well-rounded individuals who will become the strong community leaders of tomorrow. Grand Island is the fourth largest city in Nebraska. We are grateful to enjoy an outstanding quality of life due to a diverse range of opportunities. As a top-ranked Christian middle school and Christian high school in Nebraska, we are honored to be a part of Grand Island’s rich heritage and to continue the tradition of excellence as we educate the leaders of tomorrow.  My first school year at Grand Island Central Catholic is rapidly ending. We are preparing for the annual end of the year activities such as honors convocations and, of course, graduation. The seniors are just a little bit excited! This school year was a great learning experience for me, as I transitioned into the private school setting after 23 years in public schools. The parent, staff, student, and community involvement have amazed me, as so many give so much to support our school. I am looking forward to next year, as I have a much better understanding of Husker Harvest Days, The Knight, Karnival Kapers, and the many other events I had the honor to participate in for the first time. The amount of planning and hard work that goes into these activities and into amazing fundraising events was nothing less than impressive. Thank you to all who made these activities successful and for helping to make GICC the great place that it is. As we are closing out the 2012-2013 school year, we are simultaneously preparing for the 2013-2014 school year. Of course, part of this process is scheduling students for next year’s classes. Your child should have brought home a registration form and a course description booklet to share with you. Please take some time with your child to complete this form and return it to the office by April 30. My plan is to have as much scheduling completed before the students leave for the summer break as possible. In closing, I would again like to thank everyone for a wonderful school year. We have many great people working for many great students, and that makes Grand Island Central Catholic the great school that it is today. Have a safe and rewarding summer break, and do take some time to enjoy your families and friends. Respectfully,
Steve Osborn |
