This Month's Topic: Get to know our Executive Director, Travis Hargreaves

Join us for a morning of coffee, donuts, and community building! This month, we’re featuring a special session to get to know our Executive Director, Travis Hargreaves. Whether you’re meeting him for the first time or a familiar face coming to say hello, we invite you to come connect with our CCA community!

Keep in mind, this is your time to connect. You are always welcome to ask questions or share thoughts on any topic, regardless of the monthly theme.

Thirty years ago, Cherry Creek Academy opened its doors with a vision for excellence. On Friday, May 8, we invite you to honor that journey as we celebrate our past, toast to our present, and look forward to a bright future.

Join us at The Inverness Denver for an evening of nostalgia, community, and inspiration. Whether you are a founding family, a long-time educator, or a new member of the CCA community, this milestone belongs to you.

Every guest will have the exclusive opportunity to help create a brand-new art installation that will hang in the school for years to come. Don't miss your chance to leave your mark on CCA history!

Cherry Creek Academy's 8th Grade will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country.

To ensure our students are prepared, Chromebooks will remain at CCA on Monday, February 23.

For more information, please see the NAEP 2026 Parent/Guardian Notification Letter which was sent to 8th grade families on January 23, 2026.

We are committed to keeping our community well-informed. Please read these important updates from our Board of Directors Meeting on February.

Families of Cherry Creek Academy are invited to step back in time for a 1950s-themed celebration on Friday, April 10, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Cherry Creek Academy Gym. The event welcomes Kindergarten through 4th-grade students and their families for an evening of music, dancing, games, and classic retro flair.

Guests are encouraged to arrive in ’50s attire—poodle skirts, cat-eye glasses, leather jackets, and bowling shirts—as they embrace the spirit of the era. A photo booth will offer keepsake pictures for one dollar’s worth of tickets per person. A variety of refreshments—including pizza, drinks, candy, and desserts—will be available for fifty cents to one dollar’s worth of tickets. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance and used for all purchases inside the event.

Volunteers are needed, and families are asked to RSVP to ensure we have enough resources for everyone. A signup link will be available soon. For more information, contact ptosocial@cherrycreekacademy.org.
