Cathedral High School is a private, college preparatory Catholic all-boys school in Los Angeles, California.

History and background

Cathedral High School was founded by Archbishop John Joseph Cantwell as the first Los Angeles Archdiocesan high school for boys in Fall 1925. The Christian Brothers have operated the school since its opening. The school was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument number 281 in 1984.

Cathedral is located in downtown Los Angeles on the site of the old Calvary Cemetery (which relocated around the start of the 20th century), in view of the Los Angeles skyline and the new Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels and adjacent to Dodger Stadium in Chávez Ravine and Chinatown, Los Angeles, California. The school athletics teams are nicknamed the Phantoms because of its location on an old cemetery.

Campus renovation

Plans were announced in 2003 for a new building to house classrooms and the gym. The building was funded mainly by donations. Construction began in 2005 with the demolition of the old, sixty-five-year-old gym and was complete in 2007. The new building houses items from the previous building, including the old scoreboard and wood floor.

Filming

Cathedral High School has been the film location for a number of films, television shows, and music videos, due to its view of the Los Angeles skyline and character of its architecture, including the films City of Angels (1998), All You've Got (2006), the music video "I Do!!" by Toya, and a 2010 episode of Bones^[6] amongst others. Interestingly, All You've Got used Cathedral's colors (purple and white) and name (Phantoms) for their volleyball team.
