Classical High School Community Association (CHSCA)

CHSCA is made up of parents, teachers, administrators, alumni, community and business leaders whose mission is to provide advocacy and support for the Classical High School learning and social environment through various activities that include informational and social networking for parents and teachers, as well as fundraising to support the school’s programs. Call Classical High School at (401)456-9145 to give your phone number and email to be on the CHSCA Parent Contact List.  You will be routinely updated about programs and initiatives that are designed to improve your child’s education.

We Want You!

Classical High School is an extraordinary learning institution, with a lengthy tradition of academic excellence. We are fortunate to have an outstanding administration, faculty and staff. However, for students to achieve their full potential, parents MUST play an active role in their child’s education. Why join CHSCA?

• Networking: It’s an opportunity to get to know other Classical families that share similar values, dreams and aspirations.
• Partnerships: It’s getting to know your child’s principal, teachers, coaches, moderators, and councilors on a whole new level. As parents, our involvement with Classical sends a message that we recognize the importance of what the faculty and staff do, that we will work with them and support them as a team working towards common goals: the best possible education for our children and the well-deserved recognition of Classical High School as an institution.
• Advocacy: We are all aware of the funding issues facing our public schools today. Budget reductions impact not only the basic educational needs, but also the extracurricular activities that are essential in the development of social skills and the talents given to our children. We want our voices heard! And as a large, active group, our collective voice may be better heard by those who control how our tax dollars are spent.
• Information: CHSCA Meetings are typically chock full of valuable information on curriculum, extracurricular activities, planning for college, etc. Past meetings have included presentations by the Superintendent of Public Schools, the Mayor of Providence, and the President of the Providence Teachers Union. The intent is always to keep parents up to speed and provide a basis for action where required. It’s also an opportunity to kick back and share soft drink or a coffee with a fellow parent.
• For the Fun of It: CHSCA will be scheduling events and activities just to get out and be with friends and neighbors. We are open to ideas, suggestions, and help. Faculty/Parent basketball games? Karaoke nights? Wine tasting? Paw Sox? Picnics? You name it. The sky’s the limit. All you need to do is join!
