Materials Return and Receipt of Cap/Gown - Monday, June 15 We are collecting all materials from seniors on Monday, June 15. In the case of inclement weather, we will delay the distribution until later in the week. When students return their materials, they will receive a CCHS swage bag that contains the following: their diploma (to reduce contact during the graduation ceremony), student records, any awards they have received, and a few other pieces of memorabilia.

This schedule outlines the times that seniors should arrive at the school to collect and return their items. This schedule must be adhered to in order to ensure proper physical distancing and to reduce wait time for all involved. This map provides a visual layout.

Before arrival, please be sure to review what materials are owed in Aspen

To receive their caps and gowns, graduates must clear up all debts and obligations (i.e., books or money owed to CCHS). Parents/guardians may check if students owe any money/materials:


  • In the upper left corner, click on >Family
  • Click on the >child’s name of whom you wish to view (not the box next to their name, but the actual name in blue)
  • Select >Transactions (the button is on the left-hand side in orange)



When you arrive, you will stop at different stations

  1. Laptop return (if applicable)
  2. Book/Material Return
  3. Bag and Record Collection


We ask that all students and parents remain in the car during this entire time to help promote physical distancing.  Additionally, given that people will be interacting in close proximity, everyone will need to wear a mask during this process.


Graduation - Sunday, July 19, 2020
As outlined in a previous blog post, we are excited to hold an in-person graduation on Sunday, July 19, at 10:00AM.  Each graduate is allowed, two guests.  As specified in the guidelines for DESE, all attendees are required to wear a mask.  Additionally, given that all graduations must be held outdoors, the rain date(s) will be the entire week of July 20. 

To ensure proper social distancing, families should arrive at the times and park in the locations specified in this document.

Given that there will not be a graduation rehearsal this year, each graduate is requested to submit a file with the correct pronunciation of their name via flipgrid: https://flipgrid.com/cchsclassof2020  In your recording, please say your name four times exactly as you would like it pronounced on graduation day.  Additionally, please save your file with both your first and last names.

While students will have received their diploma in their CCHS swag bag, students will receive their diploma case and pose for a picture with a photographer.  These pictures will be available following the ceremony.

For any student who will not be able to attend the ceremony in July, we ask that you complete this form so we can create an accurate seating chart.  Additionally, we would like to find a separate way to celebrate this milestone.

We encourage you to review this FAQ document for additional information.

We are looking forward to celebrating with you.

Class Act Awards

Perhaps no time in the past half-century has a commitment to service been more important.  CCHS student's commitment to service is one load-bearing pillar that our school rests on.  I applaud the efforts of the students listed below.  Their contribution to a cause near and dear to their heart has undoubtedly left a lasting impact thanks to their time, effort, energy, and enthusiasm.  Further, I want to thank all the parents and community members, particularly the individuals associated with 2Volunteer

The 2020 Class Act Awards night was canceled, like all school events.  However, the sponsors of the event, listed below, want to be sure that the incredible individual community service efforts of CCHS students do not go unrecognized.  Congratulations to all!

CCHS Awards   Community Service is an integral part of the total learning experience at CCHS.  Students must complete at least 40 hours of service for graduation, but many students volunteer for much more than the minimum.  These awards recognize the graduating seniors who have volunteered over 100 hours of their time in their careers at CCHS.

Rotary Club of Concord   The Rotary Club of Concord recognizes the contribution of young people in our schools and rewards them for Community Service, Integrity, Kindness, Leadership, and Civic Responsibility. Each club and sport at CCHS has an opportunity to choose their award recipients, as nominated by their group advisors or coaches.

President’s Volunteer Service Awards   2Volunteer, the Concord-Carlisle community-based organization which assists CCHS in its Community Service program, is a designated certifying organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award.  The Award is given by the Points of Light Foundation, as inspired by George H.W. Bush, to recognize the best in American spirit and to encourage Americans to improve their communities through volunteer service and civic participation.  Students are eligible for consideration for this award if they have demonstrated outstanding community service over the course of any consecutive 12-month period.  The Young Adult (service completed above age of 16) Bronze Award is given for 100-174 hours of service, the Silver Award for 175-249 hours, and the Gold Award for 250 or more hours.  The Teen (service completed before age 16) Bronze Award is given for 50-74 hours of service, the Silver Award for 75-99 hours of service, and the Gold Award for 100 or more hours of service.
Concord-Carlisle Community Chest    Awards are given by the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest to CCHS students who have demonstrated initiative and commitment to an organization or a volunteer project within the area of direct human services.  The recipients are selected by the Community Chest Board of Directors.

Maureen Taggert Award  This award is given to a CCHS senior who exhibits exemplary community service participation in Recreation Department programs.  It is named in honor of a beloved Concord Recreation employee who lifelong gave selflessly of her time.
Global Award for Service Learning This award is given to the CCHS student who has completed the most hours of service working with a culture different from his or her own.  The award is designed to foster students’ global awareness, necessary for participation in, and contribution to, an increasingly global society.
NEADS Award  The National Education for Assistance Dog Services trains service dogs to help individuals with disabilities, and is interested in service in general to the disabled.  The Award is given to a member of the junior or senior class who has demonstrated exemplary community service in the area of working with individuals with disabilities.
