CCHS Parents, Alumni and Friends:
It's great to be back in school! Charlotte Catholic has had a very good start to the school year. It is a blessing to see our students learning in person, celebrating Mass together and participating in the sports, arts and activities they enjoy.
We continue to monitor any developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and are committed to doing our best to move faithfully forward into the school year while keeping the health and safety of our community at the forefront.
We hope all current parents will tune in for our virtual Back to School Night tomorrow, September 8. Please check your email for details on how to log in.
Looking ahead, we hope to see some of you at an upcoming sporting event, concert or play, and we are prayerfully optimistic that we can celebrate next month's alumni homecoming events.
As always, we are grateful for your support of our Cougar family.

Tuition Assistance: Kara Kloiber Memorial Fund
In 1998, family and friends of Kara Kloiber `93 established a tuition assistance fund in her memory. Each year tuition assistance has been awarded to students who exemplify Kara’s love of CCHS. To Kara, CCHS was a faith community, a place where friendships lasted forever, and friends and faculty became family. Kara died tragically in an automobile accident in August 1997 and would have chosen to be remembered as a young girl who loved life and was grateful for all the blessings bestowed upon her. Kara cherished her time at CCHS and would be proud to know that we continue to help others in her name.
Applications must be completed online and are due: Thursday, September 30.

PTO Back to School News: The PTO is excited to welcome everyone back to campus for the 2021-2022 School Year. These last two years have presented a lot of challenges but our families have been up to the task to keep our faculty/Staff, parents, and students supported through it all. We look forward to being able to get back to some of our usual activities and seeing everyone at Back to School night.
The CCHS PTO has already had a lot of exciting activities take place on campus, including:
- Welcomed Faculty and Staff back to campus with a grab and go lunch from Nothing But Noodles, a full breakfast buffet, and a Charlotte Catholic branded tumbler for all Faculty/Staff.
- Provided refreshments and magnets for Upperclassman Orientation.
- Hosted Freshman Orientation pizza lunch.
- Helped with grade packet stuffing for all classes.
All of these things would not be possible without your generous support. THANK YOU!! All of our activities are 100% funded through dues. Our PTO does not conduct any fundraisers and we have held our dues to $40 per family. We appreciate all of you that have already paid their dues for this year as we work towards getting 100% participation from our families. We have provided a link below to the online store: Click here to pay PTO dues
Watch for many more exciting activities celebrating our amazing Faculty/Staff, Parents, and Students. If you would like to be contacted about future volunteer opportunities, please click the link here: Volunteer sign up
