Information about Peer Mentors

WELCOME ORIENTATION FOR NEW FRESHMEN takes place the Sunday

before the new school year begins.   Freshmen will be assigned to a rising

Junior or Senior to assist with orientation. Freshmen will receive a notice

regarding the program in the mail.

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION: For all students Grades 9-12 who are NEW to the MACS system,

there will be a special orientation scheduled prior to the new school year (refer to the school

calendar). It is a great way for new students to meet each other in their respective grades.. Students

will meet with an assigned Peer Mentor for orientation, schedules, books, dress code etc.  Two

weeks after school begins, students are invited to a special pizza lunch with counselors to discuss

their progress and any concerns they may have.

New Freshmen will receive a Big Brother or Sister for the general orientation and may request a

Freshman Peer Mentor if so desired.  Requests may be made by calling the Campus Minister at

704-543-1127, x3154.

BIG BROTHER & BIG SISTER: Each Spring, Sophomores have the opportunity to apply to serve as

a Big Brother or Sister to a new Freshmen who will be attending in the Fall. Students are required

to complete an application, and receive positive recommendations from Faculty.  Campus

Ministry will send the recommendation form to the Faculty.

Once accepted to the program, Sophomores will be assigned to one or two Freshmen.

Requirements include phone call(s) to their Freshmen, attendance at a Welcome Orientation in

August before school starts and continued communication throughout the school year.

PEER MENTORS: All students are invited to serve as Peer Mentors for new students arriving to CCHS.

An application is required as well as positive Faculty recommendations.  Mentors are required to

assist new students with schedules, orientation, lunches, extracurricular and any questions the

students may have. 

FACULTY PRAYER & BREAKFAST:  Each Thursday, our faculty and staff gather for prayer

before school begins. Our Moms In Touch prayer group generously provide breakfast for our

faculty throughout the year.  If  you are able to assist by providing bagels, pastries, etc.,  please call

Campus Ministry at 704-543-1127, x3193.  Monetary donations are also accepted to help defray

costs.  This has been a wonderful way for our  parents to express gratitude and support to our great

faculty and staff.

ROSARY MAKERS CLUB: A great way for students to get involved with their faith and spread the

Good News is  through this fun club.  All supplies are provided.  All of the rosaries made are sent

overseas to missions and are also available in our chapel for students to use.  The meetings are

held in room #105 the third week of the month and are advertised in our weekly bulletin. All

students are invited!

MARCH FOR LIFE: In January students have the opportunity to participate in the March for Life Rally

held in Washington DC to speak out for pro-life.  Reservations are on a “first come first serve”

basis and are limited each year.  Contact Frank Delamere in our Religion Department for more
