The Center for Student Leadership is Conwell-Egan's newest initiative to help students discover and develop their leadership skills. The CSL will provide one-of-a-kind programs that both challenge and reward CEC students.
The arts are a reflection of humanity and the CEC Fine Arts program aims to give students the opportunity to better understand themselves and the world around them.
From freshman to senior year, our students participate in a myriad of activities, clubs, community service projects and more where the main purpose is to make you feel "at home" here at CEC.

The student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 to qualify for consideration. The cost of each 1-semester (3 credit) university level course is included in the school fee. (Holy Family Registration fee is waived).
Transfer of course credits into the student's ultimate college destination is dependent upon each individual college/university.
Each area of study has a course for each semester; therefore students registering must take both courses in that area of study (i.e. Philosophy I in the first semester & Philosophy II in the second semester). Students meet with the professors three days per week and have study the other two days. Some courses have an online component in conjunction with the classes at CEC.
Course offerings may vary each year.
