End of Year at CHS
The end of the school year is always a time of mixed emotions for everyone at CHS. On one hand, who doesn’t look forward to summer vacation? But on the other hand, summer also means saying goodbye - sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently—to people you’ve enjoyed spending time with daily at CHS.
This year we will be saying goodbye to several teachers, some are moving and some are retiring. We will miss these excellent teachers tremendously and wish them all the best as they continue to educate our world.
One of the things I admire most about all teachers, especially all the teachers at CHS, is their dedication to their profession. Teaching is a challenging job, and teaching at the high school level in CISD can be especially demanding. To teach day in and day out, year after year, and still be able to say “I will miss it” at the end of the year speaks volumes about the excellence and never-ending commitment to our children by these wonderful people.
For our students moving on from CHS, good luck! We expect nothing but the best from each and every person we have worked with and look for great things. For our students that return next year...we'll see you soon. Yes it is summer but it goes by fast and we are continuing to think about how we can help you have an excellent educational experience soon.
Parents, thank you for being our partners in this experience. We truly appreciate your help and hope we will continue to partner day in and day out to make CHS the best learning environment ever. You're wonderful and one of the many reasons I love to work here and like calling CHS a home.
Enjoy your summer.

Last Dragon Tribune Published
This is some of our best work of the year for our CISD newspaper students.
There is a series of stories on the front page titled "Progress the Tradition." Our students investigate improving our academic process.
With the on-line addition they have an interactive map on the front page of the newspaper to diagram where the senior students are headed.
Obviously the students are getting a handle on this new world of e-journalism and the future looks pretty bright. Hope you stay with them for the next installment in the fall.

Thank You to Volunteers
This morning we were able to honor our amazing volunteers for their help this past school year. While we would have loved to have seen more of these amazing people today it was great to honor those that came.
CHS has been served with enough volunteer hours each week this year to amount to 2 full time staff positions. In this day of needing every dollar to educate our kids this does wonders for our campus. You're all truly amazing and a treasure to CHS.
One final thank you goes out to Kathy Smith, our CHS volunteer of the year.

As we're approaching 11:30 tonight, I want to give a giant thank you to the community of Southlake and our amazing CISD staff. I want to give an extra special thank you to two amazing CHS staff members, Tracy Flores and Karon Hutcheson. These amazing ladies have helped serve in such an amazing way and we're truly proud of their work.
What was truly a dream has been so much more for many people in attendance. We'll continue all night here and continue walking for a fight against cancer.

This launch includes a commentary on the ABCs of Prom, an interview with a 2004 graduate who is touring with a band, reviews of the new exhibit at The Fort Worth Zoo: MOLA, a new radio station that features local bands, and colorful restaurant destinations in old town Roanoke.

Teacher Appreciation
Last night I had the joy of attending an event put on by one of our local churches. The youth chose to have a dinner reception for Teacher Appreciation "On Eagles Wings." It was once again a glorious reason why so many staff truly love working with our students.
Having the opportunity to thank our many teachers is sometimes difficult but these students truly went above and beyond to prepare a meal and serve teachers across CISD for their hard work. Thank you to everyone for this event, it truly gave me another wonderful "Push" to do what is truly right and to work to excel every day for kids.
