Bigger and bolder than ever, the Spring 2008 issue of Highlights features an inviting new look and a wide array of articles relating to our new theme: It All Starts Here.

There is the cover story, about singer-songwriter Edwin McCain ’88 by Chris Hearon--the first article Highlights has run about this famous graduate.

If it starts anywhere, it starts with our faculty, so we include tribute articles written by our graduates about CCES's "First Teacher," Jean Cochran; retiring first-grade teacher Nancy Holmes; Technology Director and Middle School geometry teacher Juliane Acuff; and retired Upper School teachers Mike and Diana Stafford.

Glancing back to our beginnings, Allison Betette Warren ’82 contributes "Stories from the Archives."

"Chronicles of Young Alumni" features articles about Katherine Chisholm ’01 in Africa; endurance athlete Ashley Anderson ’05; Kyle Schumaker ’04 and his patent pending; artists Jessica Green ’98, Alex Nolan ’00, and Emily West Guthrie ’91; and, of course, Jimmy Ryan ’00, whose Mice on Main project famously started right here at CCES.

There are stories about well-known alumni, such as Missy Park ’80 and Libba Galloway ’75, along with intriguing looks at graduates such as Maynard Pittendreigh ’72 and Lisa Chambers ’84.

In addition to Class News, this issue is chock full of news from our Alumni Office: reports of the Sports Hall of Fame, Christmas Party, Alumni Roast, and more.

This issue's "Annals of CCES Philanthropy" features a story about the Hunt/Marion endowment and the impact it had on the life of one graduate, and answers about endowment by Ron Gregory.

The issue concludes with a 2006-07 Annual Report recognizing our donors to last year's Annual Fund campaign.

This is a busy time during the school year, and we hope that this issue will linger on your coffee tables and be stuffed in your beach-house totes, to be sampled, and savored, throughout the coming weeks.
