Established over six decades ago, Lideta Catholic Cathedral School (LCCS) began as humble alphabet tutorials under the guidance of Abba Gebremichael Mekonnen, the then parish priest of the Catholic Cathedral in Addis Ababa. From its modest single-classroom beginnings, the School rapidly grew, and within a few years, it transformed into a full-fledged school catering to over 800 students. In 1955, the Christian Brothers undertook the school’s management, continuing until 1974 when the Archdiocese assumed its administration. By 1993, LCCS evolved further, transitioning from a junior school to a high school, extending top-tier education to approximately 2,600 students each year.

Throughout its 60-year legacy, LCCS has not only been a beacon of academic excellence but has also molded individuals into responsible and ethically upstanding citizens for the nation.
