The CCHS Family celebrated Homecoming on Oct. 14 and 15, defeating Methuen HS and welcoming alumni home to re-experience Raider Spirit first-hand. Be sure to check out the many photos from the Pep Rally, the Homecoming Football Game & Barbecue, the Post-Game Raider Reception, and the Golden Raider Brunch.

In honor of All Saints Day and All Souls Day, we will be remembering our deceased loved ones in a special way. On behalf of the Marist Brothers and the Central Catholic Family, we invite you to submit your special intentions.

Congratulations to Mr. Charles Adamopoulos, a beloved faculty member (39 years), on his 200th win as Head Coach of Raider Football (26 years). 

Last Wednesday, seniors had the opportunity to sit down with College Admissions Representatives to review their essays as part of The Write Stuff: College Essay Review Day. Good luck to our seniors as they prepare to submit applications to their best fit schools. 

Last week, eight students in Honors Introduction to Entrepreneurship participated in a full-day Junior Achievement Entrepreneurship Challenge at Bentley University against students from across the state.

Last week, students in Central Catholic's AP English Literature Course visited The Wall That Heals, a traveling exhibit that features a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and a mobile Education Center. The students visited after reading and discussing The Things They Carried by novelist Tim O’Brien based on his experiences during the Vietnam War.

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year from September 15 through October 15. Through a collaboration between various Central Catholic groups and organizations, we will be celebrating throughout the month and beyond with various activities throughout the school. Everyone is invited to participate!

We ask, in a special way, for the Central Catholic community to pray for the repose of the soul of Br. Seán Sammon, FMS. Br. Seán, a member of the CCHS Board of Directors, lived an amazing life as a Marist Brother.

Congratulations to Ranjana Ramesh '23, who has been named a semifinalist in the 2022 National Merit® Scholarship Program competition! Ranjana serves as President of the Student Council, has excelled in a variety of activities, and has earned several distinguished awards and recognitions.

In early August, seven rising juniors traveled to Indiana to participate in the Marist Youth Leadership Camp with Campus Minister Mrs. Earline Tweedie and Marists from all across the country. Nine Marist schools from around the USA (MA, NY, NJ, FL, IL, TX and OR) were represented.

This summer, four Central Catholic faculty members from across the academic disciplines attended the ISTE Live EdTech Conference in New Orleans! This opportunity is one example of the many ways the CCHS Faculty & Staff are continuously exploring ways and tools to help students succeed in a constantly changing world.
