Middle School WASC Visiting
Team
We, the
WCEA/WASC Visiting Team, wish to commend the President, Principal,
faculty, staff, parents, and students of Chaminade College Preparatory
Middle School for creating a learning environment that continually
strives to meet the needs of the students. We encourage you as you
continue to build on what you have done as you live the cycle of
planning, implementation, and evaluation.
It is
clear that the Chaminade School community fosters a Catholic environment
where positive attitudes and respect for the individual permeate the
entire day. It is obvious that quality education is a priority. The
Visiting Team found the three days spent at the school to be
professionally rich and personally rewarding. We wish to thank the
entire community for the warm and gracious hospitality extended during
this accreditation visit.
We
congratulate you on using the Process for School Improvement experience
as an opportunity to identify directions that will guide the future of
the school. We are confident that you will continue to provide a
Christ-centered and academically challenging experience for your
students. We, the Visiting Team, sincerely hope that our efforts on
your behalf will be beneficial as you continue your journey in serving
the families and students of Chaminade College Preparatory Middle
School.

Chaminade
Wins 2007-08 Mission League Sportsmanship Award
Chaminade High School was recently voted by the Mission League
Principals and Athletic Directors as the 2007-08 winner of the Mission
League Sportsmanship Award. Chaminade earned the award for routinely
demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship on and off the playing fields.
The award recognizes the school community for having positive fans who
demonstrate class and integrity at sporting events and student-athletes
who put honor and character ahead of winning. This recognition comes the
same year that senior cross country and track athlete Joy Samuels was
honored by the CIF-SS as a “Champion for Character”. Congratulations and
thank you to all the student-athletes, families and fans that played a
part in achieving this honor and let’s continue our effort to always
emphasize the importance of sportsmanship in athletics.

Cardinal Roger Mahony
Visits Chaminade
Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles,
attended our Middle School to celebrate a Catholic Schools Week Mass.
During his homily, he asked students, “What does the phrase light the
way mean to you?” Students eagerly answered to share their reflection
with the Cardinal.
We
thank him for his continual support that gives to our Marianist
institution. Following the Mass, we honored his presence with a brunch
that was attended by our Chaminade Family.
