HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!

CELEBRATING SUCCESS...
This year was the first year CHS students participated in the National Spanish Exam for eligibility for the Seal of Biliteracy.  CHS had two Gold Medalists, five Bronze, and five silver.

We also just learned that 17 students from our junior class are eligible for the prestigious Flinn scholarship based on their high score on the recent round of ACTs. Most ever at CHS!
Academic Excellence shining through.

WISH WEEK...What's the story?  Our CHS Student Council has been partnering with thousands of high school students across our country to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation to sponsor children with life-threatening medical conditions to grant their wishes.  The hope is to make this an annual tradition at CHS. This week will wish week at CHS and will conclude with a pep assembly on Friday, May 11. Click here to view a wish week video.

POWER OF YOUR PRESENCE...
Thank you to all who joined me outside on Friday to welcome back our students.  Your smiles, enthusiasm, and honks from our returning students were exhilarating.
As we finish out the year, please remember to be visible in the hallways during passing periods.  Being visible contributes to creating and maintaining a positive school climate.  Teacher presence in the hallways can help change behavior.  When students see us in the hallways they often self-correct their behavior,  just because you are there.  For an added power play, say hi to everyone that you can. Thank you!
