Student Life

PC students come from 14 cities and counties, 19 Catholic parishes, and many different cultures and backgrounds.They are given opportunities daily to challenge themselves, to motivate each other, to lead and to learn as they work toward becoming, as one beloved English teacher puts it, the best version of themselves.
