The Concert Band received a Silver (Excellent) National Rating, Big Band II received a Bronze (Good) National Rating, Big Band I received a Gold (Superior) National Rating as well as an Adjudicators Award for a score above a 92/100, the Lab Combo received a Silver National Rating, Combined Combo received a Gold National Rating, Intermediate Combo received a Gold National Rating, and the Advanced Combo received a Gold National Rating as well as an Adjudicator’s Award for a score above a 92/100.

Three of the seniors; Chris Blessing, Danny Garcia, and Alphonse Hovsepian were recognized as Outstanding Soloists for the Festival.

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.
