The high school held an inspiring Veterans Day celebration honoring the incredible heroes in our community! Students filled the program with uplifting music, heartfelt readings, and a special recognition of every veteran in attendance. After the ceremony, guests were treated to a warm and welcoming luncheon where students and staff had the chance to connect with veterans and thank them personally for their service. The entire event brought a wonderful sense of pride, gratitude, and togetherness to our school! Thank you Veterans!
CHS Something Good Video
A microphone was set up in the rotunda and students were encouraged to stop and talk about "One good thing that happened this week". This is the result, and it truly shows how lucky and grateful we are to have all of our students and faculty! Thank you to the following students for producing this video: Kaden Devore, Deveon Humphries, Zak Cox, Tanner Hunt, Jayden Anderson, Cooper Newton, Aron Brindley, Niall Hallman, Jacob Hedtke, Morgen Lendon and Aiden Carpenter. Great job!
