Cat Tracks ~ Homecoming Edition

Dear Families,

We’re thrilled to kick off one of the most exciting weeks of the year—Homecoming! This week is all about celebrating our school spirit, building lasting memories, and coming together as a community. We have a fantastic lineup of events, from spirited dress-up days to the big game, and of course, the Homecoming dance. It's a time for students, staff, and families to connect, participate, and show our pride in our school.

We encourage everyone to get involved, whether it's cheering from the sidelines, volunteering at events, or simply showing your support in your own way. Let's make this Homecoming one to remember!

Thank you for your ongoing support and for being a part of our school family. We look forward to celebrating with you all week long.

Go Wildcats!

Warm regards,

Tammy Yackley
CLHS Principal
