Central Catholic High School is a commissioned high school for boys in the city of Fort Wayne and vicinity. It Was founded in 1909 by the Right Reverend Herman Joseph Alerding, Bishop of Fort Wayne, and put in charge of the Brothers of the Congre- gation of Holy Cross, Whose head- quarters are at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, and Whose spe- cial Work is the conducting of high schools for Catholic boys. The purpose of the institution is not only to afford to its students the educational advantages offered by the high schools of the State, but also the training necessary for the proper un- derstanding and practice of the Cath- olic religion. Non-Catholic students are not required to pursue any of the courses in religion. C. C. H. S. AND ATHLETICS.
