Our Mission
The Charlotte Catholic High School Alumni Association was founded in 1987 to provide social, spiritual and educational enrichment for alumni, students and friends. Our mission is to provide a source of additional funding to enhance the academic, spiritual and cultural missions of CCHS that cannot be met through tuition alone.

The Alumni Board of Directors works closely with the school administration to determine long and short term needs. The Alumni Fund is essential to the added advantages that provide CCHS students with the best educational opportunity that the Charlotte Catholic Community can offer.

Achieving Success

  • Since its inception, the Alumni Association has raised over $800,000 for the benefit of Charlotte Catholic.
  • The Alumni Scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating senior.
  • The Alumni Association continues to host traditions such as Homecoming, the Alumni Basketball Tournament and Christmas Party and Hall of Fame.
  • In recent years, the Alumni Fund has provided the means for the school to purchase American flags for the classrooms, a new sound system for the gym, a bleacher expansion project at Keffer Stadium, chapel enhancements, a mobile computer lab, a state-of-the-art security system, uniforms and instruments for the Band Program, a new stadium sound system and many other much needed projects at Charlotte Catholic.

The tradition of Cougar Pride is one that has lasted for decades. Graduates have represented Charlotte Catholic High School with honor in many endeavors. This pride and dedication for CCHS does not end with graduation as Cougar alumni continue to support CCHS and its students.

Board of Directors
The Alumni Association continues to grow and become a major presence at Charlotte Catholic. Under the leadership of the Board of Directors, the Alumni Association hosts several events throughout the year. This is a dedicated group of alumni who volunteers their time to plan the Phone-Athon, the Alumni Tailgating Party at Homecoming, the Alumni Basketball Tournament, Alumni Christmas Party and the Hall of Fame, as well as provides support for the annual Alumni Fund. We are always looking for ways to better improve the Alumni Association and appreciate your suggestions.

Please accept our invitation to join the Board of Directors. The Alumni Board meets once a month during the school year. Please contact the Alumni Office at (704) 543-9118 if you would like to join us.
