Homeroom and Advisement are critical periods of our school days. On Tuesdays during Advisement students are encouraged to seek help from teachers, make-up tests and work with tutors. On Thursday during some Homerooms we utilize this time to do presentations, have seminars and grade level meeting to avoid using academic course time. In order to help students plan their time, we are attaching the Homeroom and Advisement Calendar for the second quarter.. We hope that this will be a valuable tool for parents and students to know what is happening in our building.

Tonight is our last home football game and senior night. Come early at 6:00 p.m. to cheer on your CHS football team and to celebrate the seniors involved in football, band, poms, and cheer. There will be free pizza for students, while supplies last, starting at 5:45 - 6:15 p.m. outside the stadium. Come EARLY and grab a slice and then cheer on your seniors!

Did you know that the Douglas County School District has 92 schools and a $300 million backlog of capital investments that are needed in these buildings – this includes our school! Please take a couple of minutes to watch this brief video where our Superintendent explains in more detail.
