In addition, the city is home to several well-known secondary schools, including Chattanooga Christian School, Baylor, McCallie, and Girls' Preparatory School. Notre Dame High School, the area's only Catholic college-preparatory institution, was the first in the Chattanooga area to become racially integrated, which it did in 1963.
