Background

Founded in 1847, Cathedral Catholic School has a rich history, established just five years after the creation of Mississippi's first Catholic Diocese and Catholic Church. For 160 years, the school has remained in continuous operation. Initially staffed by the Daughters of Charity, they served at Cathedral until 2003.

Previously a member of the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA), Cathedral was primarily classified as a 1A school. In 2015, however, the school, along with Vicksburg Catholic School and St. Joseph Catholic School in Greenville, transitioned to the Midsouth Association of Independent Schools. This change followed the MHSAA's decision to prohibit member schools from recruiting student-athletes from outside Mississippi.
