Catholic High School (Virginia)
Catholic High School (formerly known as Norfolk Catholic High School (1949–1993), Catholic High School (1993–2004), and Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School (2004–2019); commonly referred to as "Catholic" or "CHS") is a private Roman Catholic high school in Virginia Beach, Virginia, founded as Norfolk Catholic High School in 1949 and moved to Virginia Beach in 1993. In 2003, the school was renamed in honor of Walter Francis Sullivan, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Richmond and a significant benefactor during the school's move to Virginia Beach. The Barry Robinson Theater and Fine Arts Center opened that same year. In 2019, the school was renamed Catholic High School amid direction that all diocesan institutions, schools and parish buildings must "no longer be named after an individual bishop, pastor, founder or individual".
