The Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina, announced it is opening a survey to field ideas and priorities about a new Catholic high school that will open in fall 2028. The survey closes Feb. 27.
The school’s name and mission will be announced in late spring or early summer of 2026, according to the announcement. The high school will be rooted in a Catholic identity and offer “a rigorous college‑preparatory curriculum, comprehensive athletics, vibrant visual and performing arts, and a deep commitment to service.”
In its first academic year, the school will welcome a freshman class of approximately 100 students and aims to grow to 400-500 students.
The survey asks participants to offer feedback on the identity, development, and naming of the school.
Zeale News reported in December 2025 that the diocese has one of the highest conversion rates in the country: Last year, 4,838 new converts entered the Church.
Currently, there are three Catholic diocesan high schools in the Raleigh diocese, including diocesan-supported independent school Cristo Rey in Durham, which serves students from underprivileged families.
