In fine and creative arts courses, students learn about artists and photographers and enrich their personal culture through chorus and band. McCafferty Hall is home to Catholic High's Fine & Creative Arts Department. It exhibits creativity, displayed in the hard work of artists, photographers, musicians, actors, and singers. From the concerts to the musicals to the plays to the art, Catholic High's love for creativity shows.

Theology at Catholic High is directed toward developing a mature faith within our students. The curriculum in theology is designed to educate a student about the four branches of theology: scripture, ethics, history and systematics. Each year is structured in a way that provides not only a sound knowledge of that discipline, but also offers a spring-board for the following year of coursework. Catholic doctrine is emphasized in its theological basis in Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Franciscan values and spirituality are integrated into the coursework for each year.
The theology classes cover the following content:
GRADE 9: A Catholic Approach to the Old Testament
GRADE 10: The New Testament: Christology
GRADE 11: The Church, Our Story
GRADE 12: Christian Vocations
