Best Christmas Pageant Ever Production
🎄 You’re Invited! 🎄
Get ready for holiday chaos, laughter, and heartwarming moments as The Best Christmas Pageant Ever comes to life on our stage—brought to you by our talented CCA Theater Club students.
When the Herdman kids—wild, mischievous, and totally unpredictable—decide to join the church Christmas pageant, the town braces for disaster. No one expects these rascals to actually steal the show, but with a mix of humor, unexpected wisdom, and plenty of Christmas spirit, they transform the pageant into an unforgettable celebration. This hilarious and heartwarming story is a reminder that the true meaning of Christmas can shine through in the most unlikely ways.

FAFSA is now open!!
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is now available. Students who are planning on going to college in the fall need to complete the 26-27 FAFSA form in order to qualify for financial aid. This qualifies you for Federal grants and loans, but is often required by colleges to receive scholarships from the school as well. Deadline to fill it out is in January, but the earlier the better!

11th and 12th graders interested in taking the SAT or ACT in November and December, now is the time for you to sign up!

Colder Weather Means Warmer Attire!
Colder Weather Means Warmer Attire!
With colder weather arriving, please ensure students come dressed for the temperature. While we work to keep classrooms comfortable, our historic buildings can vary in warmth. Students should dress in layers and bring CCA-approved outerwear for use indoors. Please refer to the guidelines below.
Students should also bring coats for outdoor time. We will continue to eat and play outside when weather permits. Outdoor coats do not need to be CCA-approved.
Outerwear Guidelines:
CCA Lands’ End or CCA-approved outerwear with a CCA logo may be worn in the classroom (sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, windbreakers, letter jackets). Gray, black, burgundy, and white are acceptable. All outerwear must be worn over a CCA uniform shirt.
Non-uniform coats may only be worn outdoors and when transitioning between buildings.
Solid burgundy, gray, black, or white leggings/tights may be worn with skirts/skorts/jumpers; no designs or holes.
Backless shoes, house shoes, moccasins, slippers, and blankets are not allowed on campus.
On particularly cold days, administration may announce jeans and spirit wear. Notices will be sent via Teams and other communication platforms. Unless notified, students should wear normal uniform. School closures or delays will also be communicated via Teams and Skyward.
