Keep your son at Catholic High. Both are good schools but Catholic is best of the two. There is also a big difference between the two when it comes to alumni base and the opportunities that open up down the road.
Frankly, a CHS diploma = instant credibility; whereas St. Michaels diploma = I wonder why they didn't go to Catholic?

I think that's putting a little too much credence into a HS diploma, only other people I've heard talk about their HS like that is Brooklyn Tech, or whatever it's called

I know of a kid who commuted from BR to NOLA for a year to go to Ben Franklin.

CHS grad here.
Instant credibility in what? Getting a job at Blue Bayou? No one gives a frick where you went to high school once you graduate from college.
If I found out someone at our company was hiring based on high school status I would fire them on the spot. Now, if you're going to argue that CHS graduates succeed at a higher rate thus he would have access to a bigger network at a higher level in the business world, I don't know if I'd necessarily argue with this.
However, to think that CHS will held you standout is laughable. I've never had a single person ask me what high school I went to in an interview/work situation. I think I'd feel weird if anyone did.

Lsugal- I am a CHS grad as well. An only child too. My parents sacrificed alot to send me there. Due to circumstances never graduated college. That being said, the values that you learn at CHS are invaluable.
