Our campus ministry is the heartbeat of our community, inviting students to deepen their relationship with Christ through prayer, service, worship, and faith formation. We are fortunate enough to have dedicated clergy, staff, and volunteers who share their time, talents, and faith to support the spiritual and personal growth of every student. Students can get involved in things such as Catholic Athletes (Lions) for Christ, Kairos, and much more to help a student grow in their own faith journey.

Our Fine Arts are designed to unlock the unique creative potential within every Lion. We provide an immersive artistic system because a strong foundation in the arts enhances a students' educational experience and deepens their faith while supporting personal growth. By embedding the arts into our daily culture, we foster the critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and self-expression necessary in order to create a well-rounded education. We offer multiple roles and positions in numerous groups, such as Instrumental Music, Choir, Theater, Studio Art, and Stage Crew.

Our guidance department provides holistic support to ensure every Lion thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. We understand that high school is a time of immense growth and transition. Our certified counselors partner with families to navigate these critical years, providing individual attention to help students discover their strengths and reach their full potential. Our guidance department ensures assistance with academic planning, college and career readiness, and student wellness and support.

At Cardinal O'Hara High School, Student Services provides the comprehensive infrastructure needed to support our Lions' daily well-being, health, and academic accessibility. Creating a secure environment where students can learn and thrive is one of our greatest responsibilities. Our campus remains locked during the school day, with visitor access granted only through the main office upon presentation of valid identification. By following established procedures for arrivals, dismissals, and absences, our school community helps maintain a safe and orderly campus for everyone.
