The Church dedicates the month of November to praying for all the faithful departed, that God may hasten their period of purification in order to arrive in heaven - “May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
Let us also ask this month for St. Charles Borromeo’s intercession, the patron saint of seminarians, that Christ may inspire young men whom He is calling to the priesthood to respond generously and courageously.

ACT for Juniors: CCHS is offering the ACT on Saturday, February 6, 2021. To register, students will need to use my.act.org. CCHS is a closed test site and only our students will be allowed to register to test here. During the registration, students will first need to indicate that they attend Charlotte Catholic and then will need to enter the CCHS Test Center Code: 245940. The deadline to register is January 8. Space is limited.
If your student needs testing accommodations, please work with Learning Support to apply. 50% extended time is the only accommodation that can be offered for the CCHS February 6th administration.
ACT does not compensate proctors for their administration at a closed test site. In the fall the CCHS Foundation graciously paid our proctors through a grant applied for by the counseling department. In order to compensate our proctors for their time this February, there will be an additional ACT test fee on the school store. ACT Fee Please submit payment of this fee by January 8th.
