Mr. Messer's Message

We are so excited to start the 2017-2018 school year. Over 640 kids started school on Wednesday and we are excited to have each of them as part of the Warrior family. Our teachers have worked hard this summer attending professional development, preparing their classrooms, and working on lessons for the school year. Our administrative staff has also worked tirelessly making sure that everything is prepared for the school year. All of our new staff has hit the ground running and we are excited about what they bring to our team. The school maintenance staff has spent countless hours painting, repairing and refurbishing our campus. We are proud of the facility improvements and hope that you are also.

We are praying for each of your families and look forward to a great year. Thanks again for choosing CHCA and please let us know if we can help you in any way.

God Bless and Go Warriors!
