Clearwater Central Catholic High School is a Diocesan High School that integrates Gospel values with a challenging academic and co-curricular program. Our students have a variety of academic options, from the IB Program to AP and honors level classes. We are also the only Catholic school in the Tampa Bay Area to offer the International Baccalaureate program.

We teach our students how to be successful and how to excel with the gifts that God has given them. Our School Counseling Program invests in each student’s interests to determine prospective career options and to help them to achieve their maximum potential of academic success. All the while, we work to instill a deep faith and love of service that will help our students succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Long before your child decides their college major, they plan to attend CCC. All prospective students must submit an online application, as well as a non-refundable application fee – parents and students should fill this out together. Make sure you remember your login and password, as you will need it later. 

When you fill out the application, you will also register your child for the High School Placement Test (HSPT) Entrance Exam.  Please keep in mind that completing an application is not a guaranteed acceptance to CCC. Acceptance letters are sent in the Spring. Accepted students will receive email correspondence regarding student iPads.
