Yuma Catholic High School(YCHS) is a Christian community in the Catholic tradition that offers a program of academic excellence that challenges young men and women to develop into spiritually, intellectually, and morally responsible leaders. YCHS is a co-educational, Catholic high school serving Yuma County and surrounding areas. YCHS is currently accredited through North Central Association (NCA) and Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA). While YCHS provides a safe, small school environment for approximately 330 students, at the same time, it is comparable to any large high school in terms of the programs that are offered. These programs include but are not limited to Advanced Placement classes, Dual Credit classes offered in partnership with Arizona Western College, honors level classes, Academic Decathlon, seventeen Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) sanctioned sports and activities, and more than seventeen student clubs. The YCHS Mission Statement, Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs), core philosophy, and nine S.H.A.M.R.O.C.K.S. traits are the guiding forces behind all decisions, programming and disciplinary actions that occur at YCHS.
