CCHS Students, Parents, Alumni and Friends,
We are so grateful to be back on campus! The 2020-21 school year is now well underway, and we thank you for your continued prayers and support as we work to stay Safer, Stronger, Together.
Our campus re-opened for the start of the school year August 31. Catch a glimpse inside the walls with a recent spotlight by Spectrum News specialist and CCHS alumna Katy Solt '10 by clicking here: Charlotte School Sees Success

Campus and Student Happenings |
|
As CCHS approaches the end of the first quarter of classes, faculty and staff work together with students to continue in-person instruction. Here are some scenes from campus as we continue to work to keep our community healthy and safe. |
|
All students receive daily temperature checks as they enter the school. |
|
"Welcome - Masks Required" reminders are found throughout the building. |
|
Hallways and stairwells are marked for one-way traffic to encourage social distancing. |
|
At lunch, students spread out throughout the building. The commons area, outdoor tables and classrooms are used in addition to the cafeteria, where seats are marked for spacing. |
|
An extra temporary nurse's station is near the entrance to assist in screening or for any student who may become ill or register a temperature. Fortunately, they have not been busy! |
|
Masks are required on campus at all times except when eating. There have been ten positive COVID-19 cases reported among students. All 10 contracted the virus off campus. |
|
Roughly 100 CCHS students have selected full remote learning. They participate in classes via live stream. |
|
Plexiglas partitions have been installed in many classrooms and offices to help ensure safety of students and faculty. |
