Mission

About Us

Carlo Acutis Catholic High School is a newly approved Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. Named for Saint Carlo Acutis — the first millennial saint and a model of joyful, authentic Catholic witness — the school will be centered in the Eucharist and committed to forming disciples, developing scholars, and building a community.

Catholic families in the Greater Houston Bay Area have long expressed the need for a local Catholic high school. Currently, there is an approximately 60-mile gap between the two closest Catholic high school options, leaving a significant and growing population of Catholic families without a proximate choice for faith-based secondary education.

In 2022, a dedicated group of Catholic parents and community leaders set out to determine what it would take to establish a local Catholic high school. With the support of the Superintendent of Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, a comprehensive feasibility assessment of the Bay Area Deanery was conducted. In spring 2024, findings were presented to the Archdiocesan School Council and Archdiocesan leadership, including His Eminence Cardinal DiNardo. Approval to proceed was granted in late spring 2024.

The school will be a Catholic, coeducational high school rooted in the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church. The school plans to open as soon as key milestones are achieved, including successful fundraising, land acquisition, and final approvals. The founding board is moving forward with clarity and urgency.

Carlo Catholic aims to empower students to discern and pursue the path to which God calls them – whether in higher education, professional endeavors, or religious vocations – so that they may serve as faithful stewards of the Gospel in the world and active members of the Body of Christ.
