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 ]
