Mrs. Allen - Principal
Dear Central Catholic Families,
Welcome to the opening of the 2008-2009 school year! I look forward to this start-up time each year and I thank
you for your support as I enter “Year 18” as your principal.
Our incoming freshman class looks to be around 94 giving us a total of 408 students. Thank you for trusting us with your children and believing in Catholic education.
We are all preparing for opening week and it’s great to witness the energy and excitement of new plans and a new
year. Gentlemen, please plan to attend our Booster Club Stag on Saturday, August 30th at 5:00 p.m. here at CCHS, and
Ladies, you are invited and encouraged to come to our Stagette on Saturday, September 6th at 5:00 p.m. also to be held
at CCHS. We have a lot of fun at these events and you get to see friends, coaches and new Saints’ parents.
Homecoming week will being on Sunday, October 5th, with our Interact (Student Rotary Club) Pancake Breakfast.
As usual, our students will be busy every night and we need your help. It is a fun and active week but we need you helping to monitor each evening’s activities. I will repeat the message I communicate each year and ask for you to read all parts of this letter. Float decorating can always use parent chaperones, but most importantly we need your help reinforcing the limits of house “teepeeing.” This has been a wonderful tradition for years at CCHS, however, the past few years have seen some students going out of bounds with this spirit. No home should have repeated visits! Under no circumstances should any student use anything more than toilet paper for decorations. The use of shaving cream or food products is considered VANDALISM and will not be tolerated. Also, negative writing/statements is considered harassment. Please note this policy: Malicious acts of violence/threats/damages directed at another student, group of students, faculty or staff member, or a CCHS affiliated family is prohibited and discipline will include, but not be limited to, six (6) weeks social suspension with possible recommendation for expulsion.
TO SENIOR PARENTS: All school decorating is to be completed with a teacher present and only in the spirit of positive details. Any acts of trashing the school and surrounding areas will be given over to the police. No student is to
“camp out” overnight at the school and police are being asked to monitor the area.
CITY CURFEW HOURS: Students 17 and under—11:00 p.m. weekdays; 12:00 midnight on weekends. Also note that a 16 year old’s drivers license is not valid after curfew!
All parents, please have firm and frank discussions on this topic with your children. Student behavior after school
hours still reflects on CCHS and we hold our students accountable for appropriate behavior at all times. School discipline will be issued for vandalism/harassment brought about by school spirit gestures and the school’s policy will be enforced. I will also encourage victims to report any incidents to the police as this behavior is wrong and not condoned as spirit activity. If you have ever been the victim on the receiving end of these unfortunate incidents, you would fully understand how painful this can be for the whole family.
May you enjoy our beautiful end of the summer/fall weather and I look forward to seeing you at CCHS events.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me.
Blessings,
Joy Allen
