UPPER SCHOOL TOPPING OUT

Charlotte Christian School hosted a Topping Out ceremony along with Rodgers Builders for the new Upper School Building that is slated to open in August 2023 for the 202324 school year. Participating in the Topping Out ceremony was Head of School Barry Giller; Board of Trustee Chaplain Pier Scott; Upper School Principal Shonn Brown; senior Zaliyah Emmanuel; Pat Rodgers, Kelton Carpenter and Donald Alston of Rodgers Builders, general contractor; and many generous donors and supporters.

The ceremony celebrated the topping out or installation of the final beam to the roof of the building and recognized the hard work of the craftworkers and the generosity of donors. Charlotte Christian students and community members signed the beam that will be used in the construction of the building. “The growth of this building is such a testament to the work God does and will continue to do in our CCS community,” senior Zaliyah Emmanuel shared at the ceremony. “We are so fortunate as a school to have a community that cares about the learning environment here at CCS. Proverbs 24:3 says, ‘By wisdom, a house is built, and by understanding, it is established.’ We can definitely see this happening here on campus.”

The building will be a two-story 30,000 square foot facility and will include 15 classrooms, four science labs, common areas, dedicated learning space and offices for the Academic Services program and offices for diversity and belonging and spiritual life.
