High School
CCS offers a college preparatory high school curriculum. Honors courses are offered in 9-12 Language Arts and 8-12 Math. Some college credit courses are offered to 11th-12th grade students. All high school students (grades 9-12) take the daily core subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Bible. In addition, CCS students are required to take at least two full years of Spanish and one year of communications classes. Each student is also required to take two elective courses each year (one 2-day/week class and one 3-day/week class). Juniors and seniors can also take advantage of the Career and College Promise program, taking community college courses while in high school.

CCS House System
Upper school students are sorted by random selection in to four houses, with each house representing one of the four areas of our lives with which we are to love God. Students are encouraged to show spiritual maturity, fruits of the spirit, excellence in academics and athletics, service to others, school spirit, and many more attributes. As they demonstrate these attributes and grow in them throughout the year, students earn points for their individual house. The house with the most points at the end of the year earns a banquet in their honor. Each house has a faculty sponsor. This system was implemented in the 2021-22 school year.
The House Council is made up of our elected House Leaders, Deputies, and two representatives from each House and as of 2023-24, is called the House Council. Student transcripts will show this activity as “Student Council” since it is a more familiar term with college admissions and other schools. Please see the Student Council page for more information.
Homecoming Committee
Students who volunteer to serve on the Homecoming Committee are responsible for planning and organization of Spirit Week festivities, including the games, dress-up days, and Homecoming Court ceremony. Please see the Homecoming page for more information.
Prom Committee
Students who volunteer for the Prom Committee are representatives from the Junior class who are in charge of fundraising and planning the Junior/Senior prom held in May each school year.
