Admissions

Welcome, prospective students and parents.
We are very excited about your interest in our wonderful school. Cardinal Gibbons is a Lasallian-sponsored college preparatory Catholic school for boys, grades 8-12. We are very confident that if you take the time to explore what we have to offer, both on an academic and extracurricular level, you will eventually become a member of the “Gibbons Family.”
We invite you to visit us at our Fall or Spring Open House, and also to enjoy the feeling that comes with being a Crusader for a day by taking part in our “shadow” program.
If you have any questions, or would like an admissions application packet, please contact me or my associate, Joshua Yosuico.
