Summer Reading Program
Each Summer CHS students are required to complete selections from our Summer Reading List. This Summer’s list
is attached here.

When 9th-12th grade students return in August, there is an evaluation of the required books. Please work with your student to ensure their completion of the books required, based on their grade and English class for 2025-26.

Student Polo Ordering
Again in 2025-26, the CHS Dress Code will require the wearing of a CHS Polo Shirt by both girls and boys. These must be purchased directly from the vendor selected by CHS. They will be available for ordering online during 4 “Polo Order Weeks.” Polos must be ordered from the identified vendor during the weeks of:

June 2-8
June 23-27

Shortly before each Polo Order Week when the online ordering store will open, the needed link to the “online store” will be sent to parents. Polos are NOT available for ordering between these stated weeks. Here is the link for this week. The link will be open from Monday, June 2nd to Sunday, June 8.

CHS Polo Shirts worn during the past two years at CHS are fully acceptable for wear in 2025-26.

The cost of the polos for 2025-26 will be:

–$18 for Sizes S-XL

–$20 for Size 2XL

–$22 for Size 4XL

Polos that are ordered directly from the vendor accessed at the link that CHS will send will be mailed directly to parents at the address given on your order. CHS does not have any involvement in the ordering or delivery of these items so we are unable to answer any questions you may have, down the road, regarding your order. You will contact the company directly.

CHS-required Polo Shirts must be worn on the first day of classes, August 8, 2025. Click here for the full Dress Code Policy for 2025-26.

Athletic Compliance and Free Physicals

 Physicals are good for 1 year or 365 days from the date the physical is conducted. Athletes will not be able to compete in any event, contest, or tryout unless they have a physical on file with our compliance office that is current and covers the competition period. This includes all sports with summer games and workouts. All physicals for 2025-26 must be completed on the new EL2 form. Please fill out all sections of the EL2 form that apply to you prior to going in for the physical. Andrews Institute will be providing free physicals for CHS athletes on Saturday, June 7. If you last name starts with A-K, arrive by 10:00 a.m. If you last name starts with L-Z, arrive by 10:30 a.m. 

All athletes and parents/guardians need to update their account on Athletic Clearance for the 2025-26 school year. 

Concussion Baseline Testing

 Andrews will also be offering free Concussion Baseline Testing for all of our athletes on Tuesday, June 10. The testing will take place at CHS. Click on the above link for each sport’s assigned time. Athletes who completed a test last year do not have to retest this year, however it is recommended for all athletes. Students completing the testing will need to show up with a completed Concussion Baseline Testing form.

Capital Campaign – Phase II

Our Building on Faith, Family, and Tradition Capital Campaign continues.  We are still in desperate need of all families to respond with a pledge to help us reach the $6M goal – $3M from our parents.  We thank those families who have already pledged!

We are so blessed to have seen the completion of our new classrooms that your students are now using.  Please click on the new video from Coach Matt Adams explaining the need for the practice fields that were needed yesterday. We will be breaking ground on the new practice fields in the very near future! You can see the full list of projects from our Campaign school website linked here and the QR code will take you directly to our Donation Page.

Our current tuition structure only includes the expenses needed to educate your student(s) for the current academic year. It does not contain any financial component toward capital additions or significant improvements to our campus, only minor maintenance repairs and periodic replacement of existing assets, and even then, we rely on grants and/or other donations to make these changes. Please prayerfully consider a sacrificial gift to help us in reaching our goal. With the implementation of the new State Scholarship program, we hope that every family will be willing to contribute to our Campaign by sharing some of your scholarship savings for the improvements identified.  
Alumni Parents, check out the new Alumni Challenge. Details are linked from the Capital Campaign webpage. Your pledge will count toward the Parent goals as well as the Alumni Challenge!

The Gifts of the Spirit

During every school year we have an Annual Theme to help guide our student body. This year’s theme is The Gifts of the Spirit, which we learn about in (John 14:26): 
 
“It is through these seven gifts–wisdom, understanding, counsel, knowledge, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord–that we grow in holiness and are continually reminded of God’s loving presence within us and around us.”
