Fisher House
"Welcome to the VA Boston Healthcare System Fisher House. By helping you in a time of need, the Fisher House Program is fulfilling Zachary and Elizabeth Fisher’s dream. This is their way of saluting members of the armed services, veterans, and their families. We understand you may be going through a difficult time, and hope that the Fisher House will be able to provide you with safe and comfortable lodging while you support your loved one. That is precisely what the Fisher House Foundation and the VA Boston Health Care System hope to accomplish by extending this service."

Athletics Update
Last week the Girls Volleyball Team prevailed in a fiercely competitive match vs. a talented and well-coached Lincoln Sudbury Team. This was their third tough match, and we won 16-14 in the final set. 

The final point from the match was captured by AD Aaron Joncas, and CCHS staff member Mark Hernandez can be seen in the video celebrating the victory in the quarterfinal match. Watch the final point.   

Unfortunately, a great season came to an end last night.  We are proud of our team.  AD Aaron Joncas tweeted this last evening.  "Congratulations to the Needham Rockets. Our season ends but not without a courageous effort. Our kids have composed the entire match - what a team! Senior leaders get big kudos for setting the tone! Grateful to our coaches too." 



Congratulations to the Boys Soccer team.  Another exciting victory to advance deeper into the playoffs.  The win was fueled by great defense and goalie play along with goals by Luca Baum, Liam Harrington, and Levi Pierce. 

They advance to face the #1 seed North Andover HS on Saturday at 2pm at NAHS. Tickets are $5/$7. A great matchup with two perennial contenders facing off in this D2N matchup.  Go CC!




Congratulations to the Girls Soccer team for winning impressively and advancing deeper into the playoffs. CC goal by Nia Hislop, assisted by Ella McCollum, in the 23rd minute was all they needed thanks to great defensive play.  The offense sealed the victory with goals by Fallon Vaughn, Annie Jimenez, which was assisted by Sarah Creamer, and Hazel Johnstone added a late goal to make it 4-0.  CC advances to face Danvers Thursday at 7pm at Danvers HS. Congrats to Somerville on a well-played game.  Go CC!





The Golf Team placed 2nd in the state championship losing by 1 stroke to Winchester.  Congratulations on a great season.  




Cross Country team continues to dominate with the Girls Team winning the DCL Championship. A strong team effort with Emma Kerimo leading the charge by placing 2nd in the league. The boys also performed well led by Will Chaffin, who won the league title. They will compete in the Eastern Massachusetts finals in Wrentham this weekend.  Go CC!




The Cheerleading Team performed well at their competition and qualified for the regionals, which will be held on 17 November at N. Andover high school.  Good luck!

Congratulations to our football team for winning this past weekend convincingly to remain a perfect (8-0).  The Patriots play Tewksbury this Saturday.
