Meet Michael Kelley, a seminarian from Our Lady of the Assumption Parish in Turlock.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

We are incredibly proud of all that the Class of 2026 has accomplished. It was a joy to honor our seniors at the Senior Mass and Senior Signing Day as we celebrated the culmination of the hard work, growth, and dedication they have shown throughout their four years at Central Catholic.

Raiders in action!

Thank you to the members of our student body who gave a heartfelt and moving performance of the Passion Play in honor of Holy Thursday, bringing the story of Christ’s love and sacrifice to life for our community.

As we prepare to remember His ultimate sacrifice on Good Friday tomorrow, we are grateful to our students for sharing their time, talent, and faith in such a meaningful way. Their dedication and reverence remind us all of the power of reflection, compassion, and devotion during this sacred season.

This week, our campus paused to host the Every 15 Minutes program in partnership with the California Highway Patrol. Through this experience, our students were asked to confront the real and lasting impact of impaired and distracted driving. It was emotional, eye-opening, and deeply moving. We are extremely proud of the respect, empathy, and reflection shown by our students throughout this week.

A special thank you to Tiffany Galas and Liam Pecchenino for planning this important program. We are also incredibly grateful to Jordan Magana, Czyleah Pabustan, London Pratt, Annaliese Bray, and Isaiah Faagata for their roles in the collision scene, and to all of our students who participated in the “Walking Dead,” representing the lives lost each day to alcohol and drug related collisions.

WE are proud to announce that Czyleah Pabustan will be continuing her academic and athletic career in college next year! Congratulations, Czy!
