“At CHA we don’t aim for recognition; we aim for excellence,” said Head of School Joseph Torgerson. “We absolutely believe that everything we have is a gift from God and that, as a response to that generosity, we should use those gifts excellently in everything we do. This rooted-in-gratitude approach is the aim of not only our faculty but also of our parents and students. It affects how we learn, how we play sports and perform, and how we relate to one another. We’re deeply honored that this approach has allowed us to receive this type of recognition along the way. But that, too, is a gift!”
