History
Cathedral High School is part of New Ulm Area Catholic Schools and traces its roots back to 1872, and opened in 1919 after the local parochial school added a secondary school class.[3][4] A new school building was constructed in 1920.[citation needed]
Throughout its history, the school has undergone three name changes; Catholic High School of New Ulm in 1919, Holy Trinity High School in 1937, and renamed Cathedral High School in 1963.[5]
In the 1960s, the school had about 400 students.[6] The school worked with the local school district to have students take some courses in the New Ulm public school system.[7]
Athletics
The school baseball team is known for winning the 1951 Catholic state championship.[8] They also earned a trip to the Minnesota State Tournament in 2021, and winning 3rd place at state in 2022. The school Robotics program has managed to send teams the world championship three times.
