  10. Core Values & Beliefs  We believe that the respectful, supportive, and engaging learning environment at CCHS instills intellectual curiosity, a passion for learning , as well as an understanding of one's role in the community and in a diverse global society.

  11. Why Challenge Success Our new partnership with Challenge Success, of Stanford University, comes from three places: (1) a recommendation from last year’s Homework Committee (2) the positive response to our speaker, Julie Lythcott- Haims, who surfaced a number of areas of students’ stress and who talked with parents about How to Raise a Successful Adult (3) feedback from the Parent Survey highlighting student stress, the impacts of homework, extracurriculars, and more

  12. What Challenge Success is about  Challenge Success, “provide[s] schools and families with the information and strategies they need to create a more balanced and academically fulfilling life for their kids. ...Effective change happens when all stakeholders— administrators, faculty, parents, counselors, and students— come together to identify problems and work on solutions.”

  13. What Challenge Success stands for  Data from Challenge Success’s work with other high schools over the last ten years shows that academic achievement remains high while they partner with schools to strengthen students’ “ability to be independent, adaptable, ethical, and engaged critical thinkers,” and “foster learners who are healthy, motivated, and prepared for the wide variety of tasks they will face as adults.”

  14. CCHS Challenge Success Vision Concord Carlisle High School is a community united in support of students’ engagement and well-being. We consciously commit:  To spark curiosity and excitement for the journey of the high school experience  To encourage balance, personal growth, and academic excellence  To value student voice in a respectful and compassionate community  To foster a community that actively challenges and redefines success to support students’ individual well- being
