Donations for Western NC

Due to devastation caused by the hurricane in Western NC, we are asking families who want to donate to bring any of the items listed. Many families are struggling with necessities, but you can help make a difference. Mu Alpha Theta and DECA are sponsoring this drive and will be accepting donations through Friday evening. You can drop off donations at the front office or any home sporting events this week.

Noche ESL

The ESL department is hosting a meeting for all Spanish-speaking families at CHS on Thursday, October 3rd, at 6:00 pm. ML families are invited to join our ESL teachers for some coffee and pastries, as well as an hour of learning ways to support students stay successful this school year.

Parents and Families in the Web

Concord High School continues to partner with parents to “empower students to be contributing members of a global society.” Research shows that when parents are involved, students perform better in school, student attendance increases, graduation rates increase, and students and families enjoy closer bonds.

Check out this video of one of our students who is happy that her parents are involved with her education. We invite all students and parents to submit their videos.

Please send your videos and ideas to:
