Second Semester Begins

As we begin this wonderful semester at CHS, we hope all students start off this semester with the same zeal and energy we witnessed last week.  With the second semester we find numerous events outside of school work occupying each students' time.  Whether we are discussing academic clubs, athletic events, or wonderful opportunities to volunteer we hope each child is able to meet their needs daily at CHS.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school at anytime.

High School Summer Session Dates Announced

CHS/CSHS summer school sessions have now been announced.  While this is only the beginning of information we can assure everyone we will continue to post data once it is decided.

Session 1 June 14-July 2nd
Session 2 July 6-July 27th

Final Exam Week

As we begin to hit our 1st semester Final Exam week, it reminds me how fast a school year can go.  While I still remember welcoming our class of 2013 in August it is amazing how quickly they've joined with the class of 2012 to continue to make CHS a great place to learn and an unbelievable place to be welcomed everyday.

Good luck to our students this week and we hope the new year is as welcoming to everyone as it can possibly be.

Welcome Dragon Additions

I’m absolutely proud to announce the arrival of 3 new Dragons to our family. Tara Peet, one of our wonderful English teachers, proudly delivered her triplets. The wonderful babies were happily born at the start of our break. Due to the early delivery the Peet family would prefer to not have any visitors at this time. In exchange they have set up a blog to be followed by everyone and it is very forthcoming with information.

I would also ask everyone to continue to consider Tara's and the babies quick recovery so we can enjoy their presence soon at CHS.

Welcome Back to CHS for 2010

While I know many people are sad to be back at work after a long 2 week vacation, I am excited.  It is a pure joy to get back into CHS and see our wonderful students and staff.  It truly is amazing how much you miss a place while being gone and I'm just happy to see everyone again.  I hope everyone's New Year is as exciting as I hope mine is and I look forward to many more successes at CHS.
