Foreign Language
Catholic High School offers four languages:
French, Spanish, German and Latin. Latin will place emphasis on
primary source translation instead of conversational skills.
Additional language classes may be available through our Dual
Enrollment program with UAH.

proficiency-based program that helps the student to develop the
skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Cultural
