History
Cathedral Preparatory School for boys, located in Erie, Pennsylvania, was established in the fall of 1921 through the efforts of Bishop John Mark Gannon and the Reverend Joseph J. Wehrle. Since its humble origins in the hastily remodeled basement of St. Peter's Cathedral, the school has developed into a thriving institution with a reputation for scholastic and athletic excellence and has, from its founding, seen a significant portion of its alumni become professional men who have contributed greatly to their fields of endeavor, their community, and country.
