Background
editCCA was established in 1974 and was accredited by the National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools (NAPCIS).
The school's founder, Mary Ann Cristofano, was its first principal. In 1976, three of its 11 teachers were unpaid volunteers, and the school did not provide organized sports until 1977.[1]
CCA closed due to financial constraints after the conclusion of the 2006–2007 school year. [citation needed]
