Charter Hoops Rise Up!

Cherokee Charter Academy is the county's first and only public charter school. Serving grades K through Eight, CCA has 1000+ students and will add a Ninth Grade next school year.

The basketball teams of Cherokee Charter Academy are reaching new heights.  Seven of CCA’s teams qualified for the Cherokee Youth Basketball League’s invitational tournament which capped the 2012-2013 season.   Five of those teams made it to the semi-finals and two qualified for the finals.  The big winner was the 4th Grade Boys team that won its CYB tournament.  Such success on the hardwood came in only the second year for the school.   “When you have three teams win their regular season divisions and five teams perform well in the playoffs, then it illustrates an improvement in the quality of our program.  We’re excited about the efforts from all our teams,” said Jon Rogers, volunteer Basketball Director for Cherokee Charter.  From year one to two, CCA’s basketball program expanded from 16 to 25 teams.   “The thing I’m most thrilled about is that more than a fifth of the school’s student body participated in our basketball program.  That demonstrates a great deal of school pride amongst the student body.”
