School Notes

The value of a Catholic Memorial education is derived from a mindset of excellence in the classroom, on the field and through extra-curricular participation.
The CM faculty teach and coach through methods attuned to how boys relate to information, creating in them ingenuity, adaptability and self-made success.
CM forges leaders who are faith-filled, have a strong work ethic and who know right from wrong.
Our graduates attend America's most respected universities and colleges becoming leaders across Boston in business, law, government, military and public safety.
A CM education builds platforms on which our students can stand with confidence and look you in the eye while shaking your hand.
CM is a brotherhood rooted in authentic diversity and fraternal trust and is a City of Boston school where character matters as much today as it has since its founding in 1957.

Catholic Memorial is an academic faith community for young men in grades 7-12. We endeavor to instill in our students a mature commitment to the demands of Catholic Christian witness and a lifelong love of learning. Catholic Memorial serves a range of socioeconomic backgrounds and academic abilities. We embrace the diversity of the neighborhoods and surrounding towns of Boston by providing young men with a challenging college preparatory experience rooted in Gospel values. We want our students to explore their academic, athletic, creative, and spiritual potential as educated gentlemen and citizens. And we want their faith and ideals to find expression in service to God, neighbor, and the Church. With a dedicated faculty, staff, and supportive parents we create within our program an ethic of caring for the needs of each student. In keeping with the tradition of Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice and the Congregation of Christian Brothers, we foster a passion for social justice and respect for the dignity of those treated least, lost, and last.
