Thank you to our parents for getting our Freshmen here on time, I believe in 2 days we had 4 late students. Students...this means you can be here on time everyday with this effort.

Finally thank you to our ELA teachers for your hard work, your dedication toward preparing for the new test was seen by all. Our kids haven't mentioned anything but being prepared.

TAKS Testing Day 1

Please remember tomorrow is our first day of 10th grade TAKS testing for English Language Arts.

We have a unique situation on this campus because 9th graders do not test tomorrow. If you have a 9th grader, they can arrive as late as 12:30 PM on Wednesday. If a 9th grader arrives at their usual reporting time, he/she will have the opportunity to study or read in the cafeteria. Busses will run on their regular schedule and four and a half hours later for the late arrival.

CHS will maintain a schedule after testing with all four classes meeting during the last two hours with the exception of no shuttle busses running. We will not release a student during testing for appointments and encourage all students to be here the rest of the day for all classes. If you have questions please feel free to contact CHS.

GT Referrals Coming

CHS will be accepting GT referrals until March 23, 2012 with a possible testing date of April 14, 2012, if necessary.  Please review our campus webpage for the form to complete.

Cure for Drew

We were so lucky to have Drew at CHS earlier this week during his treatment. His arrival did come on a day we wore our Cure for Drew t-shirts at CHS. See below and please stop by CHS to pick up a shirt.

UIL State Swimming and Diving Champions

Congratulations to both our girls and boys teams on this amazing accomplishment. Last we heard we also believe our boys scored the top score ever for the championship.

WAY TO GO DRAGONS!
