There’s No Place Like Gross Catholic
Open House | November 8, 2026
Every great story starts with finding where you belong. At Gross Catholic, that place has a name, a family, and a front door that’s always open. This is a school where students aren’t just enrolled — they’re known. Seen. Understood. Free to be exactly who they are. Come see it for yourself the second Sunday of November.
We throw the doors open wide for every student ready to learn, and when they step across that threshold, they get everything they need to thrive: a home away from home, real knowledge paired with real-world experience, a support system of teachers and peers who’ve got their back, a place to grow deeper in faith, and a clear road toward becoming a leader.
There’s no place like Gross Catholic. Come find your home.
Parent Brain vs. Kid Brain
Here’s the truth about high school decisions: parents and their future freshmen are usually thinking two completely different things.
Parent Brain:
How do we know which school is the right fit?
What’s the culture really like?
Are the academics going to challenge them?
Will this school set them up for college?
Will they find where they belong?
Kid Brain:
Can I use my phone at school?
What’s for lunch?
Please tell me it’s not tons of homework…
Do they have the sports, clubs, and activities I actually care about?
Will I find my people?
Two very different lists. One perfect answer.
One Gross Catholic Open House. Every Question Answered.
Good news: there’s an event where parents get their answers and kids get theirs — at the same time, in the same place. It’s called Open House, and it’s coming soon.
Join us Sunday, November 8, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. to hear straight from the people who live it every day: our students, faculty, administrators, and alumni. Come explore what makes Gross Catholic feel like home — academics, leadership, athletics, activities, and campus ministry. Then take a walk through our state-of-the-art innovation center and discover what our career academies can open up for your future Cougar.
Home is closer than you think.

About Gross Catholic High School
Gross Catholic, a co-educational, college preparatory high school, began its proud heritage of academic excellence rooted in the Marianist tradition in 1968. We consider ourselves one of the best Catholic schools in Omaha, Bellevue, and Papillion. The school motto Dux Esto (“Be a Leader”) is at the core of its extraordinary mission, innovative spirit, and fundamental values. The school offers a challenging environment and outstanding quality of life, both in academics and co-curricular activities, with a strong focus on STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics) education. The spirit of Christian service and giving back is part of everything the school does. Gross Catholic’s top-tier status is reflected in its talented faculty, staff, and coaches who take great pride in seeing virtually every graduate head to college, often to the most prestigious domestic and international universities and service academies. Together with families and alumni, Gross Catholic forges relationships for a lifetime, helping to ready the next generation to be exemplary, principled leaders of the world.
