St. Augustine's Holy Spirit Prayer

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit,

that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,

that I always may be holy.

Amen

CCHS Class of 2026 - Scholarship Reporting Form

Seniors, we want to celebrate your success!

If you’ve been awarded a merit or athletic scholarship from a college or outside organization, please report it using the Scholarship Reporting Form.

• To be recognized, your award letter must include your name and the scholarship amount. Upload one letter per submission.
• Important: Be sure to save a copy of your award letter before notifying a college that you will not attend—once your portal access ends, you may lose that information.
• Please note: Scholarship award amounts will not be published, but all scholarships reported will be listed in the graduation program.
• Don’t wait—submit scholarships as soon as you receive them so we can celebrate your achievements all year long!

Spring College Visit Reminders

As we begin hosting spring college representative visits, please keep the following in mind:

• Visits are intended for juniors and sophomores. Seniors should attend only if they are seriously considering that school.
• Register in SCOIR by the day before the visit. Bring a screenshot of your registration signed by your teacher as your entry pass.
• Attendance is at the teacher's discretion. Students may not attend if they have a test or quiz and are responsible for any missed work.
• If you can no longer attend, cancel your RSVP promptly so colleges have an accurate headcount.
• Come prepared, be respectful, and bring thoughtful questions-this is your chance to make a great impression.

**Please visit SCOIR to see a complete list of college visits.
