COVID-19 Information
As of Friday, September 24, there are five reported active positive cases of COVID-19 among CCHS students, faculty and staff.
September 22 Update from Nurse Holder: Home COVID tests are not as reliable as a lab test, therefore only the Rapid or the PCR are acceptable for proof of positive or negative COVID test.
COVID Protocols and Procedures: If a student is going to be out of school due to COVID (positive test and/or exposure), please contact Kathie Holder, CCHS school nurse at kaholder@charlottecatholic.com or 704-543-0139. The nurse’s office will notify the attendance office as well as the student’s teachers, counselors and school administrators. Please do not contact the teachers or counselors to report. They will be made aware and make any necessary arrangements with the student AFTER receiving verification from the nurse regarding a COVID-related absence.
