2019-2020 Year In Review

Year in Review 2019-2020

We are proud and pleased to share that we have been voted as “Best Private School” by the Charlotte Observer.

Thank you for being a part of the CCHS community!

MISSION

Charlotte Catholic High School is an educational community centered in the Roman Catholic faith, which teaches individuals to serve as Christians in our changing world.

VISION

Our Charlotte Catholic High School community seeks to inspire Christ-filled lives that are nourished by prayer, charity, and the sacraments, as well as committed to social justice and the dignity of all life, always recognizing the pursuit of academics as a revelation of God’s truth.

Dear CCHS Students, Parents and Families, In August 2019, the 2019-20 school year opened as it has for many years – with joyful optimism. Students and faculty returned to campus, sports were underway and everyone explored ways to get involved at CCHS. We celebrated achievements in academics and the arts along with championships in athletics. We finalized plans for our Fine Arts Center and, with gratitude, thanked our growing family of supporters.

In March, we shifted gears. A statewide lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic caused us to pause for a day – only a day – and then our students and teachers made a fairly seamless transition to teaching and learning remotely. I was proud of our students for their resilience and grateful to our faculty members who, with very little notice, were able to take their lessons online so that our students could continue to learn.

Charlotte Catholic remained in session – virtually – for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year, and we discovered creative ways to celebrate the Class of 2020 and all of their successes. Graduation is always my favorite day, and 2020 was no exception. I enjoyed the intimate gatherings of our seniors with their parents as we conducted separate commencement exercises for all of our senior homerooms.

We began work on our Safer, Stronger, Together plan immediately after graduation which has proven to be effective as we remain proactive in our efforts to manage COVID-19 in our community and return to in-person instruction. No one could have imagined the disruption to our lives this pandemic has caused, and I am grateful to be a part of a community where we prayerfully face these challenges together.

Looking back, while the 2019-20 school year was like no other, what remained the same was the Charlotte Catholic spirit. COVID-19 has changed the way we teach and learn, but our community support has allowed us to continue to thrive in spite of these difficult times. I am inspired by the support each of you has showed to our students and to our community.

Thank you for being a part of the Charlotte Catholic family, and for your support of the spiritual, academic and social growth of our students.

We hope you enjoy reading this Year in Review.

Prayerfully yours,

welcome

W. Kurt Telford, Principal

“ For I know the plans I have for you, “ declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Jeremiah 29:11 CELEBRATING THE CLASS OF 2020 Graduation was held on campus on May 29, 2020 due to special circumstances that called for smaller gatherings. Plans were in place for ceremonies that could have been conducted either in the stadium or the gym, and inclement weather moved them inside. Each graduate was accompanied by his or her parents or family members in what turned out to be a special, personal, and memorable day.

Graduation plans included extra measures to help ensure the health and safety of all attendees, and to comply with social distancing orders in effect. After each graduate crossed the stage, they joined their parents in a designated area to watch the other graduates in their homeroom. After the entire homeroom had walked across the stage, they were declared graduates and then departed the school with family.

The valedictorian was Mae Levin, who is attending the University of Notre Dame.

All graduation and senior events were shared through video links or livestream.

CCHS held its annual Senior Awards Ceremony on May 27th, honoring members of the Class of 2020 for their commitment to faith, service, sportsmanship and academic excellence. Principal Kurt Telford welcomed students virtually, as this year’s ceremony was pre-recorded and shared through social media channels and the school website.

During the Senior Awards Ceremony, eight prestigious college scholarships were also awarded, all provided by generous donors and CCHS affiliate organizations. Winners listed on page seven.

“I have enjoyed my experience so far at the Naval Academy. It is definitely an awesome place filled with great people. While it can be very challenging most of the time, I have learned keeping a good attitude is the best thing to do.

Charlotte Catholic prepared me for challenges by teaching me time management skills, giving me a family feeling, and showing me how to keep striving for my goals. I have learned that failure is part of the process for growth. Whether you lose a game, fail a test, or feel like you are lacking in your faith life, it should not make you feel like you are a failure, instead it should just be a little reminder that you need to keep pushing for that improvement.

The faith that Catholic has provided me has helped me get through rough moments where I have questioned my abilities. I am so grateful to call Charlotte Catholic home and I appreciate every teacher, coach, counselor and friend that has helped me along this journey. I hope to see some more Charlotte Catholic Midshipman soon! Beat Army!”

CCHS students volunteered the summer of 2019 at Camp Soar, a place for Special Olympics athletes to attend summer camp. CCHS students work at the camp as “buddies” assisting participants in a variety of sports.

Each year, the Charlotte Catholic Student Council partners with Catholic Charities to ensure children and families in need have a merry Christmas. Charlotte Catholic parents, students, faculty, staff, counselors, and administrators participated in this school-wide Christmas project. Together, CCHS students served over 60 children and 10 families in an effort to fill the children’s Christmas wish lists and meet the needs of the families during the holiday season. As always, the entire Charlotte Catholic community responded with great enthusiasm and generosity.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes continued the tradition of placing a display of flags at the entrance of CCHS on September 11th in remembrance of lives lost that day.

Charlotte Catholic High School Athletic Association The Charlotte Catholic High School Athletic Association has operated for more than 40 years to organize and promote the development of respectful, faith-filled athletes throughout participation in interscholastic sports. They provide support and encouragement for the athletic and personal achievements of the students of CCHS, by volunteering time, contributing financial backing and fundraising for the success of our athletic teams.

The main revenue sources for the Athletic Association are funds from gate and concessions, Cougar Club passes, sponsorships, donations, participation fees as well as golf and tennis tournaments. All of these funds help to pay for facility rentals, coaching stipends, field maintenance, referees, uniforms and team support.

In 2019-20, the main stadium field and beloved practice field “The Pit” were graded and recrowned. Artificial turf was added to the perimeter of the stadium to prevent wear in the high traffic areas.

Hundreds of parents, family members and friends volunteered thousands of hours in support of our student athletes.

The 2019-20 sponsors include: Arbor Construction, Atrium Health, BrandRPM, Coca Cola, Corporate Security and Fire Systems, Dr. Carolyn Crowley, Keffer Hyundai, McDonalds, Laurie Insurance Group, PCI Group, Pinnacle Roofing and Exteriors, Quimby and Collins Orthodontics, Red Clay Industries, Sellers Orthodontics, Sonic Automotive, Strathmore Capital Advisors, and The Terry Law Firm.

Charlotte Catholic’s teachers live the mission statement every day by inspiring a love of and respect for learning. Exceptionally dedicated faculty create classroom environments that challenge students to think critically and creatively as they grow in their faith.

2019-20 brought new challenges as CCHS moved to full remote learning in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers and students worked together to keep CCHS open virtually and to finish the year strong.

committed E X C E L L E N C E I N E D U C AT I O N - V E R B E S E Y AWA R D Principal Kurt Telford presented the $10,000 Verbesey Award for Excellence in Education to Beth Acitelli, IT Director at CCHS.

Mrs. Zimmer was caught delivering her surprise.

covid-19 CHARLOTTE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY STAYED TOGETHER – VIRTUALLY No one could have imagined the disruption to lives during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Never before has Charlotte Catholic faced such a challenge – to continue to provide an excellent education to it’s nearly 1,200 students – while the physical campus was closed due to the state mandate.

Cougar pride and resilience was evident as faculty, staff and students quickly moved to distance learning and online programs. While spring sports and performances were eventually cancelled, parents and coaches rallied to celebrate the senior members of each team and group. The doors to the building were temporarily closed, but CCHS was very much alive thanks to the support of parents and the extended CCHS Community.

Mr. Telford hosted an Instagram Live session with the class of 2020 along with virtual “Koffee with Kurt” sessions with parents and students, including the Class of 2024.

Faculty members stuck together during the crisis, attending weekly faculty meetings via Zoom. Math teachers were provided iPads to help teach online lessons.

Mrs. Runkle continues to teach Economics virtually from her home “office.”

Diane Kloiber, pictured with her husband Joe Kloiber, Sr., served the CCHS Foundation for seven years as a board member. The Kloiber Family and their company, Tech South, have generously supported Charlotte Catholic and its students for many years, establishing the Kara Ann Kloiber Make a Difference Award for an outstanding graduating senior as well as the Kara Ann Kloiber Memorial Scholarship. Both of these are in memory of their daughter Kara Kloiber ’93 who cherished her time at Charlotte Catholic High School. She saw her school as her faith community where friends lasted forever and teachers became family.

Kara was tragically killed in a car accident in 1997.

The scholarship fund was established in her name, knowing she would want to continue to help others. In the years since its establishment, this scholarship has benefitted many by providing tuition assistance to those who exemplify Kara’s love and appreciation for CCHS. The Kara Kloiber Make a Difference Award honors a graduating senior who consistently makes a difference in our school and community.

The Kara Ann Kloiber Award was presented to Christian George Alston.

forward thinking Although the pandemic has changed how we live our everyday lives, the need to support Charlotte Catholic High School has not.

The Teacher Impact Fund continues to be the CCHS Foundation’s largest initiative. Since it was created in 2016 as a means to help retain high-quality teachers, the CCHS Foundation has funded more than $320,000 in merit-based awards in addition to $100,000 in Sister Paulette Williams Awards.

The 2020 Gala raised more than $225,000 and brought together hundreds of parents and supporters of Charlotte Catholic. Fr. Richard Sutter was the guest auctioneer for the live auction.

upgrade CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS Cougar athletes and fans enjoyed a newly renovated Oddo Field at Keffer Stadium.

Turf was installed around the field perimeter before the kick-off of the 2019 seasons.

Principal Kurt Telford led a blessing and dedication ceremony for the newly renovated Alumni Hall. Through contributions to the CCHS Alumni Association, the inside entrance and corridor to the gym were renovated to include a pictorial history of CCHS, Hall of Fame, Hall of Champions along with updated swimming, cross-country and track & field records.

A new vestibule was added to the main entrance to the school to upgrade security and welcome all visitors to CCHS. Visitors now stop in the vestibule to present ID to the receptionists, who print a badge from the computerized visitor management system for each visitor.
