EXPERIENCE THE SCHOOL WHERE TRANSFORMATION HAPPENS.
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 of all backgrounds become brothers. Where excellence in academics and competition drives students further. And where expectations of responsibility mold today’s boys into tomorrow’s role models.
See your son grow
Roman prepares every student to excel, thanks to state-of-the-art facilities, long-tenured staff, and individually focused support. With a 96% college matriculation rate to universities that include UPenn, the University of Notre Dame, and West Point, a determined Cahillite can reach any goal.
“The curriculum was rigorous, yet the teachers were always willing to offer extra help and support when needed.” – Cahillite parent
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.” – Cahillite student
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.” – Cahillite parent
