PITTSBURGH - Central Catholic High School has reported a 57% increase in enrollment from out of state students during the five year period from 2001-2006. “We’re not sure what’s driving this trend,” said Brother Richard Grzeskiewicz. Grzeskiewicz speculated that parents of young men are attracted to the 79-year old institution’s reputation for combining religious education with discipline and academics. “Our academic reputation certainly transcends Pennsylvania ’s borders” reported Grzeskiewicz.
An apparently unrelated trend is that virtually all of the transfers have decided to participate on Central’s perennial powerhouse football team. Central football coach Terry Totten observed that Central has been very fortunate that the transfers have inexplicably decided to select football as their extracurricular activity. Totten said, “we pray every year that some of these transfers want to play football, because without divine assistance, we wouldn’t have a chance against the public schools.”
Central was defeated by Penn Hills in Friday's WPIAL semifinal. Said North Carolina transfer Junior Tino Sunseri (pictured above), who moved in with his uncle to attend Central because of its foreign language program, “I just hope I get my Calculus done before kickoff, or else I won’t be permitted to suit up.”
