I walked away from that encounter, which occurred early in my tenure at Charles Wright, struck at how in most any other environment I wouldn't have been so trusting with a person I hardly knew. Sure enough, the camera returned the next morning. We are a community built on trust and on high expectations of personal accountability. Charles Wright is a community of participants. Over eighty percent of our students participate on interscholastic sports teams, and the same students who are active in athletics sing in the choir, perform on stage, staff our award-winning yearbook and newspaper, and join our perennial powerhouse Knowledge Bowl academic competition team.
Opportunities abound for parents to volunteer, both on campus and off.
Our graduates go on to some of the best colleges and universities in the nation. Alumni regularly report how well prepared they were for college life, both academically and personally. Older alums talk about the profound difference Charles Wright made in their lives, and for many the friendships begun here on Chambers Creek Road have lasted a lifetime.
