Student Life

There are many opportunities for students to engage in life beyond the classroom: student organizations, extracurricular activities, peer tutoring, volunteering for our days of service, or serving on a college committee. We value student input and encourage involvement.  If you are interested in learning more about our student activities, please email us.

Student Organizations

Carolinas College offers several student organizations that provide opportunities to get involved on campus.

• Student Government Association (SGA)
  The SGA provides the primary voice for students in college decision making and coordinates college-wide activities to encourage interaction between students in different academic programs.

Recurring Events and Activities

• Constitution Day - In celebration of the signing of the U. S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, CCHS hosts a special event each September commemorating the event.
• Day of Service - The first annual day of service was held in 2012 and it instantly became a part of the culture of the college. Students, teammates and others come together to serve our community. CCHS served more than 1300 hours of community service in 2013 and 2014.
• Fall Festival - When the weather begins to change, it is time to celebrate the change of season. Every October, CCHS hosts a cookout for students and teammates with exciting games and activities in the true carnival spirit.

Each year at the May Commencement ceremony, we host class reunions for our 50-, 60-, and 70-year graduates.
• Spring Fling - Music, food and fun fills the air at CCHS every March as we celebrate the arrival of spring. Students and teammates enjoy a cookout and other activities in a fun-filled environment.
