CCHS Parents, Alumni and Friends:


We made it through the final weeks of school and exams. We are proud of our students, teachers, and staff for their hard work as the busy weeks of May gave way to summer break.


Our seniors enjoyed an exciting week of fellowship and celebration with Senior Breakfast, Awards Ceremony, Baccalaureate Mass, and Graduation. A collective feeling of pride was present throughout this time and we are grateful for the memories made with the Class of 2023.

 

The CCHS office staff will work summer hours June 12 - Aug 7. The school will be open between the hours of 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. The office will be closed during the week of July 3 -7 and reopen on July 10.

 

It’s been a great school year and we wish everyone a happy summer.

 

All the best,

W. Kurt Telford, Principal
