The Dolly Barranco Activity Center and Cafeteria is named for Mrs. Dolly Barranco; a beloved member of the Montgomery community who managed the then Catholic High cafeteria for more than 25 years.

The Barranco Activity Center is a 13,000-square-foot facility housing two new art classrooms, a stage, state of the art kitchen, and storage areas. The former cafeteria was renovated over the summer into four new classrooms.

The Barranco Center is the largest climate-controlled facility on any of Montgomery Catholic’s campuses with seating for over 600 students. A formal dedication of the new facility will be held this fall.
