CAL HS Missions:

Coat drive for the Homeless: 12 Oct- 30 Oct: Led by the Freshman Class in partnership with His Blessings Box, Louisville, KY

Our freshman class is leading a mission at CAL to provide a storehouse of winter coats for the homeless in Louisville.  The greatest need is for large and extra large men’s coats– but there are also needs for women’s coats and children’s coats.  Donated coats can be used-in-good-condition, or new.  Students can earn ONE service hour for donating a coat (one service hour total, not per coat), in addition to the joy and blessing of giving to those in need.  In order to have the service hour documented, students should check their coat in at the office for credit.  Our school goal for this mission is 450 coats.

Additionally, many states, colleges, and private organizations require a completed FAFSA to consider students for state aid, institutional grants, and merit-based scholarships. Filling it out ensures your student stays eligible for the widest range of financial support to help cover higher education costs.
