A t Cabrini High School, leadership doesn’t wait until senior year. It begins the moment a student walks through the gates. With an intentionally smaller student body, Cabrini creates oppor- tunities for students to lead early and often. Even eighth graders are encour- aged to shine, playing varsity sports, traveling with nationally recognized cheer and dance teams, taking cen- ter stage in the spring musical, and representing the school at statewide academic competitions. Cabrini fosters a culture where students don’t wait their turn—they show up and lead from day one. This spirit of empowerment is rooted in the school’s founding in 1959 by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus. Inspired by the bold vision of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the school continues to educate young women through a commitment to excellence, service to others, and faith-driven leadership. Every student is known by name, challenged to rise, and supported by a community that believes in her potential. Over the decades, Cabrini has built a legacy of academic rigor, spiritual for- mation, and student-centered growth. Today, it stands as a rising pillar in the community, especially for young wom- en pursuing careers in STEM. Through partnerships with local hospitals and medical centers, students engage in hands-on science labs, shadow pro- fessionals, and explore real-world applications of their coursework. Cabrini’s commitment to well-rounded formation extends further: the school’s critically acclaimed fine arts program
offers pre-professional training in music, theater, and visual art, while its humanities curriculum cultivates curi- osity, critical thinking, and meaningful dialogue. The results speak for themselves. The Class of 2025 earned more than $13.5 million in college scholarships—an av- erage of $350,000 per scholarship-re- ceiving student. A recent $5 million reinvestment from the Missionary Sisters is now fueling the next phase of growth, with upgraded classrooms, science labs, and athletic facilities underway. Rooted in tradition and built for tomor- row, Cabrini prepares young women to lead boldly and serve with purpose.
