President & Principal

Brian Vohden, PresidentDear Families,

Thank you for choosing Morris Catholic for your children’s education. We are honored to join you on this journey, committed to creating a supportive environment where every student is valued and encouraged to grow in character, community, and commitment through the knowledge of Christ’s love.

It is a privilege to lead a school that weaves our Catholic faith tradition into every aspect of student life, creating a welcoming space for students of all backgrounds to become people of integrity and purpose. We believe each student is created in the image and likeness of God and is blessed with unique, God-given talents.

Throughout my two decades in educational leadership, I have been inspired by a passion for creating spaces where students can thrive both academically and spiritually. My goal for Morris Catholic is simple: to be the premier Catholic high school in New Jersey—a place where students excel, families feel connected, and alumni remain deeply engaged.

The incredible legacy of the Sisters of Christian Charity, alongside the dedication of our faculty, staff, campus ministry, and chaplain, ensures that Morris Catholic’s faith-centered identity remains vibrant and enduring. We are also grateful for our loyal alumni, who continue to enrich our community with their time, support, and mentorship, exemplifying the values instilled during their time here.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s growth, both academically and spiritually. Together, we will build on Morris Catholic's strong traditions of faith, community, and excellence, and support your family as your children thrive within our caring community.

With gratitude,


Brian J. Vohden
President
