As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 401 students and 26.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.9:1.

Morses Creek (New Jersey) flows over the property.

Athletics

The Roselle Catholic High School Lions compete in the Union County Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which includes public and private high schools in Union County and operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). Prior to the NJSIAA's 2009 realignment, the school had participated in the Mountain Valley Conference, which included public and private high schools in Essex County, Somerset County and Union County.

The boys track team won the Non-Public indoor relay championships in 1967, 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1974.

The boys baseball team won the Non-Public A North state championship in 1967 and 1968, and won the Non-Public A state title in 1978 vs. Camden Catholic High School.

The boys bowling team won the Group I state championship in 2008 and 2009.

The boys basketball team won the Non-Public B state championships in 2013, 2014 and 2015, defeating St. Anthony High School each year.

Administration

Core members of the school's administration are:

  • Thomas Berrios, President / Principal
  • Martha Konczal, Assistant Principal - Academics
  • Joe Skrec, Assistant Principal - Student Affairs
  • Labyrinth

    At the center of the school's courtyard is a spiraling brick walkway called the Roselle Catholic High School Labyrinth. The labyrinth is composed of 8,000 bricks and was constructed in the summer of 2008 to commemorate Roselle Catholic's 50th anniversary as a school. A sign near the entrance to the courtyard explains its significance:

    "Walking the ancient labyrinth is an ancient spiritual act that is being rediscovered in our time. Labyrinths are unicursal, offering one path. Unlike a maze, there are no dead ends. By combining a number of even older symbols, the labyrinth represents the journey inward to our own true selves and back out into the everyday world. Walking a labyrinth can be a metaphor for life – full of unexpected twists and sudden changes in direction. This can be a profoundly moving experience which offers opportunities for spiritual and personal growth."
