ENTRANCE GATES

Boylan Catholic High School offers a supportive, family environment in which students of all backgrounds can develop academically and spiritually, guided by a commitment to excellence and the principles of the Catholic faith. To "Be Boylan" is to follow their vision: Striving to be Saints. Scholars. Champions. That description and order – first of faith, then academics, then taking faith and skill into the world and onto the field – is intentional. It sums up the Catholic education aimed at excellence provided at Boylan. Learn more about their school and events at their booth!
