President's Welcome

Welcome to Cotter Schools! 

In 1911, Bishop Heffron, Cotter’s founder, dedicated Cotter High School to instilling the highest ideals of citizenship—honor, honesty, courage, and integrity—and to inspiring students to make a difference in the lives of others.

More than 110 years later, Cotter Schools continues this mission as a unified Catholic learning community serving infants (6 weeks) through grade 12 on one campus. Our dedicated faculty and staff work to help every student reach their full potential and live in service to others.

We educate the whole person through academic excellence, faith formation, personal growth, social responsibility, and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities. We believe learning happens best in a supportive community where each student knows they belong and where we all grow together.

Whether you are a current student, parent, alum, or friend—thank you for being part of the Cotter Family. Your support and dedication keep our tradition of excellence strong.

Once a Rambler, Always a Rambler!

Mary Eileen Fitch, ‘95 
President, Cotter Schools
