[edit] Background
This school began as Notre Dame Academy, an all-girls' school founded in 1878. The school moved from Ansel Road in Cleveland, where it had been located for fifty years, to the rolling countryside of Chardon, Ohio in 1963.
Cathedral Latin School was established in 1916 by the Cleveland Diocese and Brothers of the Society of Mary (Marianists). By the late 1960s, Latin joined University Circle Inc. This college preparatory school for boys became renowned for its own scholastic excellence along with a storied sports history right up until its closing in 1979.
The name was changed to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin in 1988 when the school invited the Cathedral Latin Alumni Association to join in creating a new, coed school community on the NDA campus. Since the name change, the school is commonly referred to as NDCL.
Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin is in the North Coast League for sports. In recent years, a rivalry has developed between Lake Catholic High School and Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin.
New tennis courts have been added to the campus in Chardon as a result of the Capital Campaign initiative. In addition, a completely renovated cafeteria, stadium lights, and technology improvements have also been added throughout the school.
In the fall of 2011, the school announced plans to install a new all-purpose track and football turf in their stadium, Lion's Stadium.[citation needed] Along with the track and turf, one of the school's gyms will be renovated to be a dedicated performing arts center. With the dedicated performing arts center, lost gym space will be made up by constructing a new gym connected to the school. All of this construction is expected to be complete for the 2012-2013 school year beginning in the fall.
[edit] Charity Game
On November 23, 1946, Cathedral Latin High School competed in the annual Charity Game, the Cleveland high school championship game, at Cleveland Municipal Stadium against Holy Name High School. The attendance of the game was local record crowd of 70,955 fans. It is the second-largest attendance for an American high school football game in history.[citation needed] Cathedral Latin defeated Holy Name, 35-6.
