We hope that all of our CCS Families and Staff are enjoying the summer break! Summer is the perfect time to catch up on much needed family time and participate in fun activities. The end of June marks the mid-way point of summer break. Before we know it, school will be back in session!

We can't wait to see you all back on campus, but for now, here's a recap of some of the things that have been happening in June, as well as a glimpse of what's to come.

Summertime is maintenance time around campus. From floor waxing to light bulb replacement to furniture moving to lawn care, there's always a lot to do. Thank you to our ball players who helped move classroom furniture back into classrooms after waxing! Many hands make light work!

New campus security features are being installed. Next time you visit the main campus, ring the doorbell and smile!

Rising Senior, Asa Haynes, attended the 2026 Alabama Boys State session. As a delegate for our school, Asa had the opportunity to work with other outstanding students across the state and learn more about the functions of government, the political process, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Special thanks to our local American Legion for promoting and sponsoring this opportunity for studentws!

Rising Senior, Elisabeth DeCicco, spent a week at The University of Alabama in attendance at the 2026 Alabama Girls State session. During her time there, Elisabeth was elected the District Attorney position for the program. Congratulations on a job well done and for being selected to represent CCS at this week-long, fun-filled, hands-on learning opportunity for some of the best and brightest students in the State of Alabama!

On a special note --- CCS Class of 2025 graduate, Aby Robertson was on tap to serve as an academy ambassador at the event.

We are so proud of our student leaders! Great job!

This program helps students learn more about community service, physical fitness, team building, and leadership. Congratulations to all the outstanding students who completed the program!

Clerical and organizational tasks are ongoing throughout the summer. Prepping for financials to end one school year and begin the next takes some time. Sometimes using multiple computers is what it takes! Thank you Mrs. King for all your hard work!

The school uniform sale was great! Thank you to all who donated, volunteered, and participated. Items remaining from the sale will be available at the school for a few more days.

As the beginning of the school year approaches our parent volunteers are always busy supporting our school and helping get everything ready. Thank you to each and every parent and grandparent who work so hard to make our school special!

It was a great turnout for the annual Golf Classic. What started as a potentially rainy day turned out to be a spectacular mild, breezy, and enjoyable morning of play. Just as the last few teams were arriving back to the clubhouse, the predicted rain began.

Thank you Chick-fil-A for our breakfast and AGCOR for our lunch!
