Allentown Central Catholic High School is proud to be ranked No. 1 best Catholic high school in the Allentown area for 2021!

ACCHS earned a niche grade of an A- for 2021; only about 20 percent of schools across the United States receive an A- or higher, so this is a huge accomplishment for our Viking nation.
