Where sons become scholars, leaders, and men.
Philadelphia knows a Roman Catholic High School student not just by his iconic Purple and Gold uniform — but also by the confidence of a young man growing in talent, leadership, and character.
This is a school where boys become brothers. Where excellence in academics and athletics drives students further. And where expectations of responsibility mold today’s young men into tomorrow’s role models.

See your son grow as a leader.
Engaged in one of 17 varsity sports, or seeking responsibility within more than two dozen extracurricular clubs and activities, Cahillites are tasked with decision-making, teamwork, and long-term planning. It’s no surprise alumni include NFL and NBA professionals, House representatives, bishops, playwrights, and Olympic gold medalists.
“The extracurricular activities and student government helped me become more confident and outgoing.”

See your son grow as a man.
At Roman Catholic High School, students grow in demonstrable faith, called to seek out their relationship with God — and an understanding of their neighbors, local and global. Taking part in service activities, personal reflection, and group retreats, students enter Roman from diverse backgrounds and experiences — and leave as gentlemen recognized throughout the region.
“I could not be happier with my son’s education at Roman. They’re invested in my son’s educational experience as well as his growth as a Catholic man in Philadelphia.”
