Led by students Amir M. and Melissa B., Dr. Bagula and Trustee Bazzo took time on Thursday to visit CHS. In addition to visiting our new Health and Medical lab spaces in which grade 9 students were using balloons, tongue depressers, and other supplies to mimic muscles, they were very impressed by the ASB Clothing and Toiletries Pantry (room 310 open for students at lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays), stopped to enjoy our garden and koi pond, and visited the Internship Class to speak with seniors about their upcoming internship opportunities. We enjoyed sharing Clairemont's amazing students, staff, programs, and facilities with both Dr. Bagula and Trustee Bazzo and look forward to future visits!
Come celebrate your favorite band kids play the national anthem, and your favorite baseball team beat the Cubs!
