At CHCA, we challenge our students, faculty, and staff to be lifelong learners. This week, we sat down with a handful of teachers who participated in professional development opportunities this summer.

As we reflect on an incredible Grandparents Day Weekend on the Hill, we sit down with Pastor Ronnie McCarson to discuss how grandparents can set a strong foundation and leave a legacy for their grandchildren. Ronnie is the Pastor to 55+ Adults at Cottage Hill and a grandparent of a few of our own Cottage Hill Warriors!

In this episode, we sit down with Kayla Parazine, the dedicated school counselor at CHCA, to explore the importance of counseling in schools. Kayla shares her insights on how school counseling can significantly impact students' emotional, social, and academic development. She also discusses the unique counseling programs offered at CHCA, designed to support students at every stage of their educational journey. Whether you're a parent, educator, or student, this episode provides valuable perspectives on the essential role of school counselors in fostering a supportive and healthy school environment.

Listen to this episode of What's Happening on the Hill as we explore the unique experiences of young people who chose to serve and lead in various capacities. These students went beyond the classroom, dedicating their summer to service, leadership, and making a difference in their communities. Their stories are a testament to the power of youth in action. Tune in for an episode filled with inspiration and practical insights on how young people can leave a lasting impact.

We're thrilled to introduce our new faculty and staff! Join us in giving them a warm Warrior Family welcome and hear what they are most excited about as they join our team!
