Welcome to Knoxville Catholic High School!

Deciding on the right high school is a big deal, and many families in the Knoxville area are looking at Catholic High. We're happy you're considering us and have some simple tips to help you with the admissions process.

7 EASY STEPS TO GUIDE YOU:

Attend 8th Grade Visit Day and/or Admissions Open House
Open houses are a great way to get a feel for the school. You’ll see the classrooms, meet teachers, and check out the school's vibe. It’s also a good chance to ask a lot of questions.
Take a Private Tour
You’ll get one-on-one time with the admissions staff and you can ask specific questions. Plus, families and students can meet teachers, coaches, other students and support staff. Call the Admissions office at 865-560-0313 or fill out the Inquiry form.
Follow @KnoxCatholic on Social Media
Stay up-to-date on school events and see what daily life is like by following KCHS on Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook. It’s a easy way to see Catholic High in action.
Check Out the Website
KnoxvilleCatholic.com is a treasure trove of info — details on the curriculum, extracurriculars, and the school’s mission. Take your time to dig around, as it can help with your decision.
Ask Other Parents
Talk to friends or current families who have been to Catholic. They can offer helpful insight!
Start Early
Starting early gives you an edge. Submit an Inquiry to stay informed about important admissions events and deadlines.
Know the Deadlines
Keep track of important dates! Make sure you know when to submit records and applications. All paperwork can be submitted online in the Admissions Portal, but don’t be afraid to call and confirm that everything’s submitted successfully.

That's it! The Knox Catholic Admissions Team is here to help, so don’t hesitate to ask questions. We look forward to working with you! Go Irish!☘️
