St. Joseph the Carpenter Award

Each year, the CCHS Alumni Association and a very generous anonymous donor are pleased to offer a college scholarship to a graduating senior who demonstrates service above and beyond what is expected, building the ongoing reputation of CCHS as a school that engenders a spirit of service and a habit of paying it forward.  The recipient will be a student who frequently is visible around CCHS, volunteering his or her time at any number of events and activities.  Love for CCHS and willingness to build community and school spirit should be a hallmark of the recipient’s service.  The recipient will be a student who follows the example of St. Joseph, who remained out of the limelight and did not seek recognition, but nonetheless was committed to serving in whatever capacity was needed.  Faith must be evident through the recipient’s service.  This award is for the graduating senior who does the right thing, simply because it is the right thing to do.  

Robb Pugh Scholarships

Each year, the St. Gabriel Men's Club is pleased to offer a college scholarship to one male and one female graduating senior based on faith, community service, and need.  The scholarship is given in memory of Robb Pugh, a much-loved member of the Men's Club whose spirit of selfless service is honored through this award.  Nominations for these scholarships are made by CCHS faculty and guidance counselors.  Self-nominations are not accepted.  

Class of 1989 Memorial Scholarship

The Class of 1989 Memorial Scholarship was established to honor the memories of three classmates whose lives were cut short by cancer.  Meredith Birmingham, Andrew Katko, and Michelle Vogelbacher Pratt were cherished members of the class, each having a unique identity, and all leaving a void in their classmates' hearts with their passing.  The Class of 1989 banded together to find a way to honor their legacy, and established this scholarship.  It is intended to recognize an individual student attending Charlotte Catholic High School whose life has been affected by cancer.
