Allentown Central Catholic High School (sometimes referred to as Central Catholic High School and abbreviated as ACCHS) is a Division C team located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. They compete in the Central East Regional, and were regional champions in 2012. They regularly qualify for the state competition.
History
Central Catholic's team formed in the fall of 2005. They were quickly successful, qualifying for their first state tournament in 2006, their first year of competition. They finished 15th, which remains their highest placement in team history.
Their most successful year at the regional tournament was in 2012, where they achieved their first and only regional championship. They finished five points clear of Kutztown Area High School and Perkiomen Valley High School to claim the title. Subsequently, they finished 16th at the 2012 Pennsylvania State Tournament.
Between 2008 and 2021 (results from 2007 are unknown), Central Catholic only failed to qualify for the state tournament once (not including cancelled tournaments). This occurred in 2015, when they fell 38 points short of Parkland High School for the sixth and final qualification spot. Due to cancellations and No Shows, Central Catholic did not compete at states from 2020 to 2024, but they returned in 2025.
