CELEBRATING SUCCESS...
Weekend Round-Up...
Two of our amazing and talented CHS students were shining stars at this weekend's Regional Poetry Out Loud state qualifying competition. The first and second place honors went to CHS students Sophie Weinzinger and Sarah Norris. They move on to the state competition on March 3 in Phoenix.
Congratulations to Sophie and Sarah and their teachers!
Also, this weekend, the opening reception for the CHS art exhibit attracted many art admirers. The art on display at Brandy's is beautiful and brings pride and honor to our school. (Exhibit remains on display through March 3). Congratulations to our talented art students and their teachers.
And in sports...
Although the end result of the big basketball game on Friday, was not as we had hoped, I know you all join me in recognizing the outstanding season and hard work of our boy's basketball team this year. Our student section was bursting at the seems and their enthusiasm and behavior was exemplary. Congratulations to our Panthers and their coaches.
The Girls play Tuesday night in the first round of the state finals. Hope you can come out and help cheer them on.
On the mat...
Two of our CHS wrestlers made to the podium at the state wrestling meet this weekend. Pedro Billups for the silver medal and Brandon Barreras took sixth. Congratulations to these individuals, the team and their coaches!
Go Panthers!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM CTE...
This year two teams from our CHS Architectural Interior Design Class will be participating in the FCCLA state leadership conference in March. Our students will present their comprehensive designs for Craftsman Style Bungalow to a panel of judges. Students who complete this program are eligible to become a certified apprentice for a chief architect. Best of luck and Go Panthers!
WHAT'S UP NEXT...
As we work to maintain focus on academic achievement, we know things like social, emotional and behavior also demands our attention. As we learned from Chris Gunn, last month, students are experiencing more trauma and facing extreme difficulties outside of school. The purpose of the workshop a couple of weeks ago was to deepen our awareness of the problems and offer suggestions on ways to talk with students who might possibly be facing these difficulties. To continue to broaden our professional knowledge and to learn about the laws related to special education in school, this week we will have another guest speaker at our faculty meeting. This time the speaker, Attorney Cathleen Dooley, will focus on Special Education Law as it relates to students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
Faculty Meeting ~ Wednesday, February 14 2:00-3:00 pm in the mini-theater.
