Air conditioning systems were also added to the third-floor classrooms. Most recently, the Dominican Center was opened, which houses the school’s computer labs and the Guidance Offices.
Gloucester Catholic strives for the very best in academic standards. Although remedial and business courses are offered, very few courses are not college prep. Students who are Gloucester County residents may attend the Gloucester County Institute of Technology part-time during grades eleven and twelve. Students who are designated as "accelerated" in their freshmen year follow a more rigorous academic program, consisting largely of honors and Advanced Placement courses, throughout their four years.
