School Liturgy:  Mass of the Holy Spirit,
Friday, August 21, 9:00am
All of our CCHS family (students, parents and employees) are invited to join together on campus for our celebration of the Mass of the Holy Spirit. We will be outside following diocesan guidelines for liturgies. In order to help us plan for social distancing, Eucharist, and safe practices, please complete this survey to help us estimate attendance. Click here for survey.  

Parent Association
The Parent Association is a valuable and important resource for all of our parents. Every parent is a member of the Cathedral Catholic Parent Association, and therefore, all parents are invited to attend any of the Parent Association meetings throughout the year. 

Here are the meeting dates for the upcoming school year: September 1, October 6, November 17, Feb 2, March 2, April 6

The Parent Association co-leaders are Tanya Letuli and Fara Moi.  They can be reached at the CCHS Parent Association email address:  ParentAssociation@cathedralcatholic.org
More information about the Parent Association will be provided in the weekly newsletters.
Update from the Counseling Department
Student Schedules: Course schedules are available in PowerSchool. Please note, due to changes in the master schedule, course periods and teachers are subject to change until the first day of class. Please be sure to check your schedule Monday, August 17th for your finalized course schedule.

All course change requests must be made via email to the counselor with both student and a parent/guardian on the email. Schedule changes will be made based on space available in the order received. Please note, students must meet prerequisites for all course changes. In addition, counselors are not able to accommodate course changes based on teacher, period, or semester preference.

Contacting Counselors: The best way to contact counselors to set up a meeting is via email. During Dons Online, counselors will be available via email, phone, and Zoom for meetings.  

SAT/ACT: For the most updated information regarding upcoming test dates and locations, families should go directly to the College Board and ACT. For college specific testing information, families should refer to each college's website for their specific policies for the Class of 2021 and beyond.  FairTest.org also provides information regarding schools with test optional policies. Please confirm any information found on FairTest.org on the college's website.
 
The Cathedral Catholic College Fair has been cancelled for this school year. We invite you to attend the NACAC Virtual College Fairs this fall.
