Thanks to everyone involved in putting it all together!
Mrs. Mindy Garcie’s Personal Finance class participated in mock professional interviews yesterday. They completed resumes with references and cover letters to present to their “interviewer.” Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Wyatt, and Mrs. Litton participated by interviewing the students as if they were prospective employees. It was a great experience for all involved!
In our promotion for good attendance, CHS is rewarding students for continuously showing up! For this 9-week grading period, students with perfect attendance from Kindergarten - 8th grade were put into a drawing for bikes. Six lucky (and present) students received those bikes this morning! Thirteen high school students had perfect attendance for the first nine weeks and they each received a Cirkul water bottle. All students with perfect attendance also received a special gift from Mrs. Webb. CHS is extra proud of our students for their perfect attendance. Being present pays off! We challenge you, Wildcats, to aim for perfect attendance this next nine weeks - and see what prize you may win!

She graciously shared her educational career path and accomplishments with us. As well as spending time answering very professional and profound questions from our future educators.

We had a great day and we believe that our Wildcats are the best students ever!
Students who scored Advanced or Mastery on the 2022 Leap were treated to popcorn and a movie! We are so proud of our Wildcats!
