There are many renowned Catholic high schools across the United States recognized for their strong academics, commitment to service, and overall excellence. Here are some of the best known:

1. Georgetown Preparatory School: Located in North Bethesda, Maryland, it's known for its rigorous academic programs and tight-knit community.

2. Regis High School: Situated in New York City, it's a free, all-boys Jesuit school renowned for its robust academics. It operates on an all-scholarship basis.

3. St. Ignatius College Preparatory: This is a leading Catholic institution located in San Francisco, California. St. Ignatius has a reputation for its rigorous college preparatory programs, and athletic offerings.

4. Loyola High School: This all-boys Jesuit high school, based in Los Angeles, California, is known for forming students in the Ignatian tradition of mind, body, and spirit.

5. Academy of the Sacred Heart: This all-girls school in New Orleans, Louisiana, is the oldest continually operating Sacred Heart school in the United States.

6. Gonzaga College High School: Located in Washington, DC, this all-boys school has a reputation for its impressive academics, athletics, and emphasis on spiritual formation.

7. Cathedral High School: This all-boys Catholic College Prep high school located in Los Angeles, California is known for forming young men into future leaders.

8. Jesuit High School: Found in Portland, Oregon, this school is acclaimed for its commitment to academic excellence, community service, and religious education.

9. Bellarmine College Preparatory: Located in San Jose, California, this institution has been a leading Catholic school for boys for over a century.

While these are all good options, remember that the best one will depend on what you're specifically looking for in a school - whether that’s the specific traditions of the faith it adheres to (i.e., Jesuit vs. Dominican), the extracurriculars offered, the school's values, its geographical location, or its focus on college readiness.

So make sure to consider your own preferences and needs as well as you refine your list, and don't hesitate to explore other schools that seem like they could align well with what you're looking for.

Good luck with your search!
