Inaugural 2025

Celebrate a Scorpion Day

We invite the entire Charleston Day community— alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, and staff — to participate in our first ever Celebrate a Scorpion Day on Wednesday, May 14th!

What is Celebrate a Scorpion Day?

This will be a day of Red and Blue fun for our students and a way for Scorpions from all over the country to engage in activities while participating in a Day of Giving. We invite everyone to STEP IT UP and celebrate CDS and the collective generosity of our community.
