New Football Coach Announcement

Congratulations to Richard Cochran ’91, who makes history as the first Catholic High alumnus to be named Head Coach! Coach Cochran has been a part of the Rocket coaching staff for 24 years, serving as Defensive Coordinator for the past 14 years. Not only has he been a mentor on the field during his 28 football seasons as a high school coach, but also has been a stellar teacher in the classroom. Coach Cochran is known for his passion for literature, teaching 11th and 12th grade American and British Literature, along with World Religions. He is also the creator of the school’s Themes in Literature course, a concurrent credit class offered in partnership with UA – Little Rock. His leadership in the classroom and on the field is on display daily.

There’s no doubt Coach Cochran’s love of Catholic High and his deep understanding of our mission based in faith, integrity, and duty will continue to propel our football program to new heights! #AlwaysARocket #BuiltonLegacy

BECOME A STUDENT

Growing up with an older brother that went to Catholic High, I knew I wanted to be a part of what he always referred to as “The Brotherhood.” I love that I’m able to explore so many of my interests, from joining Broadcast Journalism and JROTC my freshman year to becoming president of the drama club as a junior. As I get ready for college in two short years, I’m thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given at Catholic High that will help me stand out in the application process.
