Homecoming Week: Show your school spirit and come cheer on our teams!  Events will be scheduled for various days of the week, so stay tuned for those announcements.

Career Day: Every other year, Calvin Christian hosts a Career Day for all high school students. On that day, students attend their morning classes as usual, but the afternoon provides them with an opportunity to learn more about choosing a career. Approximately eight members of our community come on campus to tell students about their careers and/or career fields: what you do, how you get there, the skills and education you need, the good and bad sides of these jobs, etc. Students choose three of these career information sessions to attend.

On this same day, Calvin Christian’s juniors and seniors have the opportunity to participate in a Career Shadow. Instead of attending school and Career Day, these students get to go “shadow” someone in a career that interests them. They observe an employee on the job for a day to learn more about what he/she does on the job, what the company or agency does, what education and training is required for that career, and what it takes to be successful in the world of work.

If you have any questions about the Career Day or Career Shadow programs, please contact Brian Duyst at the high school.

Spiritual Emphasis Week: Spiritual Emphasis Week is a special time that we set aside to encourage our high school students to examine their spiritual walk in a more direct way.  We suspend regular afternoon classes for a week to host a variety of speakers and small group discussions/activities.  This is done to challenge the students to grow in the knowledge of what it means to be a Christian and to respond with greater commitment to God in their daily walk.  We also concentrate on service projects, setting aside one day for community service.

SAT Preparation Classes: The purpose for this class is to help our high school students prepare themselves for taking the SAT test.  It is organized and taught by qualified CCHS teachers.  Watch the Monday Bulletin for specific times and fees.

National Honor Society Induction: This ceremony is held at 7:00 p.m. in the library to recognize those students who have been accepted into the CCHS chapter of the National Honor Society.  New inductees are ratified and current members from the Junior and Senior classes are also honored.

Junior/Senior Banquet: This is the major social event at the end of the year for the upperclassmen.  It is planned and paid for by the Junior class in honor of the Seniors.  It is a formal affair held at an off-campus banquet hall.  Please note that the high school is dismissed at 11:30 a.m. that day.

Spring Musical: please see the HS Drama section
