Charlotte Catholic High School

081420 cchsCHARLOTTE — Charlotte Catholic High School is in the final design stages for its long-awaited new fine arts center. Pre-construction work has begun, and groundbreaking is scheduled for later this fall. The project is expected to be completed for the start of the 2022-’23 school year.

The $23 million project is being funded by a commitment of $15 million from MACS capital fees and donations raised through the “Expanding the Vision, Honoring the Tradition” capital campaign. The campaign continues to raise funds toward the project’s completion, and more than $6.1 has been committed to date.

“It’s hard to believe this is finally becoming a reality, but it is, thanks to the dedication of so many supporters of CCHS,” said CCHS Principal Kurt Telford.

“We are beyond excited that our fine arts center is going to become a reality very soon. There is no doubt that this building will become a vital part of our school and our community,” added Tish Macuga, a CCHS parent who, along with her husband Brian, is a general chair of the campaign.

For more information about the campaign, contact Telford at 704-543-1127 or Advancement Director Sally McArdle at 704-716-2459. Learn more at www.playingyourpart.org.

Christ the King High School

081420 ctkHUNTERSVILLE — Christ the King High School’s capital campaign for a new Athletic & Activity Complex has reached important new milestones.

In a springtime meeting with the Diocese of Charlotte’s Building Commission, the school was given permission to enter the construction design phase of

the project. The school engaged a team of experts to form a construction committee, created a request for proposal, and received multiple proposals from contractors.

The construction committee is expected to evaluate and select contractors this month, and the selected general contractor will then work with Boudreaux Design Group to create final drawings. If all goes smoothly, school leaders anticipate putting a shovel in the ground at the end of the first quarter of 2021.

The building campaign currently boasts $4.4 million in pledges. The campaign committee continues to cultivate pledges as the school community works towards the final “level 3” goal of $5.5 million.
