Mr. Messer's Message

The year 2018 has been a great time in the life of Cottage Hill Christian Academy. It is exciting for our staff to see the growth in numbers and in spirit this past year. FAITH-FAMILY-FUTURE is not just a motto but is a way of life for our CHCA family. God has been very good to our school and our church and we look forward to an even better 2019.

Our offices will be closed from Thursday, December 18, 2018 until we return on Monday, January 7, 2019. Our staff is looking forward to some down time. I hope everyone has a great time relaxing and spending time with family and friends during the holiday season. Thank you again for being a part of the Cottage Hill family.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

God Bless and Go Warriors!
