Background

Cathedral School was founded in 1847, just five years after the formation of the first Catholic Diocese and Catholic Church in Mississippi. It has remained in continuous operation for 160 years. The school was originally staffed by the Daughters of Charity who remained on staff until 2003. [3]

Cathedral was formerly part of the Mississippi High School Activities Association, primarily as a 1A school until 2015 when it changed membership, along with Vicksburg Catholic School and St. Joseph Catholic School (Greenville, Mississippi), to the Midsouth Association of Independent Schools due to the MHSAA's ruling about forbidding members to recruit student-athletes from out of the state of Mississippi.
