Board approves 2026—27 calendar for Challenger Early College High School
Summary
The board approved the 2026—27 calendar for Challenger Early College High School, which includes teacher workdays, an every-other-Friday virtual schedule tied to CVCC closures, a fall break in October and a separate spring break in March.
Ray Thompson presented the draft 2026—27 calendar for Challenger Early College High School and asked the board for approval. Key dates in the draft include a first teacher workday of July 29, a final student day of May 25, a fall break on Oct. 16 and a spring break scheduled separately from Easter in March. Because Central Carolina Community College (CVCC) is closed on Fridays, Challenger will schedule an every-other-Friday virtual day to align with the college calendar.
Thompson said the calendar was discussed during the morning work session and offered to answer questions; none were recorded during the business meeting. A board member moved to approve the calendar and the motion carried by hand/voice vote.
Proper names: Challenger Early College High School; CVCC (Central Carolina Community College); Catawba County Schools.
What happens next: The Challenger Early College calendar will be adopted for 2026—27 and communicated to students, families and partnering institutions.
