2) All students Out-Of-Area (OOA) from any other school who applied to CHDHS for Pre-IB have been accepted.
3) All Pre-IB course requests have been successfully built into each student's schedule.
4) There are still seats remaining in both Pre-IB English and Pre-IB French Immersion for any student who wishes to attend CHDHS for this opportunity. Any students/families interested should send me an email as soon as possible at mjean@gnspes.ca .
5) For all students enrolled in any Pre-IB classes, a schedule will be sent electronically to their GNSPES email address by the end of next week. PowerSchool should be accessible in the relatively near future for additional course information.

NASA Engineer Dr. Renee Horton visits CHDHS!
On February 4th our International Baccalaureate students had a remarkable opportunity to hear Dr. Renee Horton speak at our school.
About Dr. Horton: "Dr. Horton has excelled in her career despite going through many obstacles in her journey. She graduated with a Ph.D. in Material Science with a concentration in Physics from the University of Alabama as the first African American to receive this degree. Dr. Horton serves as a NASA Space Launch System (SLS) Quality Engineer at Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans. Throughout her academic career, Dr. Horton, has received numerous accolade and awards including the Black Engineer of the Year Trailblazer Award in 2011."
Thank you Dr. Horton for your time, life lessons and inspiration to all of us!
In case you missed it, some of our grade 11 IB students were recently on Global Television evening news discussing climate change, public policy and Greta Thunberg's inspirational impact.
