Good for Business

"I can't think of a more effective way for businesses to play a lead role in educating urban youth, opening up doors that are not otherwise available to them, and at the same time, helping themselves by preparing their employees of tomorrow."

Thomas P. O'Neill, III
Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Good for the Community.

  • Financial aid - Students apply all of their workstudy earnings towards tuition, covering approximately two-thirds of their costs.
  • Real world experience - Students work in real jobs in law, finance, healthcare, marketing, universities and many other professional offices, being challenged to apply their skills beyond the classroom, while learning about future career possibilities.
  • New horizons - Successful business leaders are role models for students, inspiring new goals and raising future ambitions. Students also develop positive relationships that can lead to summer jobs, college references and other job referrals.
  • College preparation - An education at North Cambridge Catholic High School means academic excellence, practical experience, maturity, and above all, integrity. Students are preparing for acceptance - and success - at college.
  • Serving generations - North Cambridge Catholic High School has served immigrant families and those with economic need for more than 80 years.
