About Aurora Central Catholic High School

Aurora Central Catholic High School (ACC) is a college preparatory school rooted in faith and based in Aurora, Illinois. ACC has been committed to the spiritual formation and education of students in the Fox Valley area and surrounding suburbs for over 50 years. ACC began as two separate secondary schools in 1926. Madonna Catholic High School (an all-girls school) and Roncalli High School (an all-boys school) merged in 1968 to form a co-educational school, Aurora Central Catholic. Today, the community-centered school operates under the direction of the Rockford Diocese. The school, with an enrollment of over 500 students, is focused on the development of the whole person—nurturing each student’s cognitive, spiritual, physical, emotional and interpersonal well-being. ACC offers a unique block schedule to prepare students for the focus and rigor of a college classroom while maintaining a healthy school-life balance. ACC offers students a broad range of extracurricular activities, ensuring nearly 100 percent of its students have the opportunity to participate in at least one extra-curricular endeavor.
