Christian Heritage Academy

Christian Heritage Academy (CHA) invites the North Shore community to celebrate a historic&nbsp;milestone at the upcoming groundbreaking ceremony for its brand-new Activity Center. The official first turn of the soil will take place&nbsp;on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10:00-10:30 AM on the school’s campus at 315 Waukegan Road, Northfield, IL. The brief ceremony and prayer of dedication will bring together students, families, faculty, alumni, and friends to mark a major step&nbsp;forward for the school community. The groundbreaking comes in conjunction with CHA’s "Train Up" Capital Campaign, which reached&nbsp;a major milestone of $9.6 million (80% of its $12 million goal) on June 1, 2026. Initial construction preparation will begin on site this&nbsp;fall, with construction beginning in earnest in the spring of 2027. The community celebration begins earlier in the morning with the <a href="https://runsignup.com/Race/IL/Northfield/TrainUp5KAndFunRun" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Train Up 5K and Fun Run</a>, open to third graders through adults,&nbsp;kicking off at 8:00 AM. This family-friendly event features a 5K race, a 1-Mile Fun Run, and two dashes for younger children (a 50-yard&nbsp;and a quarter-mile dash). Attendees can also explore a sponsor and activity village. Donuts, coffee, cider, and hot chocolate will be&nbsp;available for sale before the 10:00 AM groundbreaking. The three-year, $12 million Train Up Campaign eliminates the school’s current debt, covers the annual Lion Fund, and provides new&nbsp;space for student physical education and athletics. Strategically placed at the center of campus, the new facility will feature&nbsp;telescopic seating and a retractable divider, creating a versatile space capable of hosting two full-court basketball games or four&nbsp;tournament-style volleyball games simultaneously. All neighbors, civic leaders, and local families are welcome to attend both the races and the groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate&nbsp;this exciting new chapter.
