There are many unsolved mysteries surrounding the Charlotte Catholic building, but after years of in depth research and undercover work, perhaps the biggest mystery has just been solved. It seems like throughout the school day, there is one student who keeps having to go to the restroom during every period. After following leads for over four years, I found the truth. The truth is… those students are secret superheroes that use the bathroom to change into their superhero id

In a shocking turn of events, Charlotte Catholic High School has announced the cancellation of spring break for its students. This change results from multiple winter snow days impacting the required number of days for the school year. These makeup days will be taken from spring break rather than summer vacation.

Mr. Telford implemented this policy to underscore the importance of attendance and hold students accountable to the Charlotte Catholic standard. Prior to November 3rd, there was discussion among students about

At the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, numerous Charlotte Catholic students, parents, and staff were surprised by the number of half days organized this year. Throughout the year, the expected amount of half days totals to 12. This marks a significant increase in half days from last year. This mainly results from MACS requiring the school to add two back-to-back half days in order to stay on the same schedule as other schools in the area that are on a trimester sched

Like most things in our world today, politics is a touchy subject. With the divide between both sides of the political spectrum growing by the day, discussing one’s beliefs has become a dangerous activity to partake in. While debating students at Utah Valley University, right-wing political debater Charlie Kirk was fatally shot by an assassin. No matter what your stance on his beliefs or his stances on subjects, a man is dead, a wife lost her husband, and children lost th
