CHA, All the Way: How Alumni Keep the CHA Family Legacy Alive
CHA is known as family. Since its founding in 1972, and with the influence of Mr. Ralph Bullard and his strong investment in families, the school has prioritized family and alumni — and that legacy is still alive today.
A Legacy That Keeps Coming Home
Alumni are a vital part of the CHA community. It is a joy to see second- and third-generation families enroll their children, with several PK and kindergarten families now being alumni parents themselves. It's a blessing to have alumni return to speak to classes or even join the CHA staff. Many continue to partner with the school through prayer and giving toward its strategic priorities — furthering the mission of training scholars who understand America's gospel purpose and go on to lead in every sphere of society.
Alumni Weekend: Cheers, Runs, and Reunions
Recently, CHA hosted three alumni events: the cross-country run, volleyball matches, and the first home football game of the season.
Last Friday night, the Crusader cheerleaders held their first-ever alumni cheerleader event — and it did not disappoint. Former cheerleaders joined current squad members dancing to "Big Blue #1," proudly wearing their CHA alumni cheer shirts. Every alumnus in attendance at Friday's game received a red pom-pom featuring the CHA alumni logo.
The celebration didn't stop there:
Cross-country alumni were treated to a special breakfast
Volleyball alumni received five-dollar concession vouchers at the game
[NOTE] Alumni of ‘86, ’96, ‘06, ’16… want to have a reunion? Contact Dr. Susan DeMoss and we can get the ball rolling!
An Audience of One: CHA's Athletic Philosophy
Watching a CHA athletic event is a reminder of the school's distinct philosophy toward sports, captured in the phrase "an audience of one." Through the athletic department's "total release performance" approach, athletes are challenged to be ambassadors for Christ — using the field as a platform for the gospel as they play for the ONE.
Get Involved as a CHA Family
Whether you're returning for an alumni event or looking to volunteer, there are countless ways for parents, alumni, and even grandparents to stay connected to the school you love. To learn more about volunteering at CHA, contact Dr. Susan DeMoss at sdemoss@cha.org or 405-672-1787 ext. 233.
Alumni, always remember: there's no place like home. You are always welcome.
T Minus 8 and Counting
March 23, 2026
Growing up, I remember watching Space Shuttle launches. Mission control would announce the countdown, as my brother and I counted with him. I remember it was an event that almost no one missed. Likewise, CHA’s Heritage Gala is an event that you don’t want to miss!
Registration begins at 5:00 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. The mix-and-mingle reception with light hors d'oeuvres from 5:30-7:30 p.m. is designed to help guests connect and hear what the Lord has been doing. Highlights of the upcoming year will be shared throughout the evening, and the third annual “Liberty Leader” winner will be announced.
