[edit] History
Cascade Christian High School was founded in 1978 by Grace Christian Schools, a ministry of the First Baptist Church, and was housed at the historic Jacksonville School building for over ten years. The school's first graduating class was in 1981, but GCS turned the high school over to a group of dedicated parents to operate it separately. In 2002 school leaders asked that Grace Christian administrators take over the administration. After twenty years as an independent school the high school was rejoined as part of Grace Christian Schools. After several relocations, the school moved into a newer, larger facility just south of the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport in 2006. [3]
[edit] Athletics
Cascade Christian's high school athletic program began around the time the school did in 1978. The mascot is known as the "Challengers" and the team colors are purple and gold. The "Challenger" is a warrior-type character based out of the Bible. The athletic director is Dave Fennell.
They are a member in good standing of the Oregon School Activities Association and participate in the Southern Cascade League and Sunset Conference. Their football team won the OSAA Class 2A State Championship in 2006. All teams currently play in Class 3A based on school enrollment.
