Student Body

Demographics

Each year CCMS attracts students from all over the United States.

The typical student body contains representatives from 18-20 different states and will be approximately 40% male and 60% female. The students are diverse in age (19-60, with an average age of 24), experience, and educational background.

The diversity of students results in exposure to a national perspective on funeral service and to a broad perspective on life.

Student organizations

SORORITY

CCMS offers female students the opportunity to be a member of Delta Gamma Pi, a sorority established at CCMS in 1994. Delta Gamma Pi maintains an informal atmosphere of acquaintance and promotes an awareness of female contributions to the profession of funeral service. For more information, contact Ms. Westfall.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Each incoming class will elect a student body President, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, and two Class Representatives. The elected officers plan activities, participate in CCMS events, act as ambassadors to visitors, and work to create an inclusive environment for all students. For more information, contact Ms. Dutko. 

GSA CLUB

In 2024, students at CCMS formed the Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) Club. The purpose of the GSA Club is to unite the LGBTQ+ and allied youth to build community and organize around issues impacting them in their communities. The GSA Club provides social events, community and civic service events, and works to create a safe, welcoming, and accepting environment, as well as allow students to make stronger connections with their peers. For more information, contact Mr. Kindoll.

PHI THETA KAPPA NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

Each class has students who excel academically. These students and their accomplishments are recognized during Commencement, as well as formally noted on students’ diplomas and official transcripts with the placement of the National Phi Theta Kappa emblem seal, to forever reflect their exceptional achievement.
