Central has a long standing commitment to the community, relying on its four school values. These being Courage, Charity, Honesty, Sanctity (these also happen to be the four abbreviated letters of the CCHS name).

In Athletics, Central Catholic has a long and storied tradition. The official colors for central Catholic are scarlet and grey, similar to Ohio State. Their nickname is the Fighting Irish. The Irish athletics were given a new facility in the Fall of 1997 with the opening of the brand new Sullivan Center, a state of the art high school gymnasium which has been hailed as the best in the area.
The biggest rivals for the Irish include fellow parochial schools St. John's Jesuit, St. Ursula Academy,and Notre Dame Academy. However, no rivalry matches the intensity of the St. Francis-Central rivalry. These two schools play every year for the Irish Knight Trophy in football, a famed 3 foot statue of a Knight clad in green and red armour given to the winner of the game each year.
Other rivalries include the Scott Bulldogs, who are located a mere half a mile from Central Catholic, Start, and Whitmer.
