PA Grants Program
Scroll and click on the photos for more information.
The PA Grants Program exists to support teachers and staff at CCHS in their efforts to enrich and broaden the educational experience of all CCHS students. We typically spend about one third of the annual PA budget funding grants that are:
• student-focused,
• meaningful, substantial, or rewarding for the student experience,
• consistent with CCHS goals,
• fiscally responsible, and
• unable to be funded via another source.
Grants are an opportunity for teachers to try something new, branch out, experiment, or expand a successful concept. The PA hopes to fund as many different teachers, departments, and new ideas as possible.
