As we say goodbye to one season and welcome the next, we want to extend an invitation to you and your family to join us for our End of Fall Festival happening in the CHS parking lot, tomorrow! This fundraiser event will go toward supporting our Senior Prom this year, and will run from 12:00 - 5:00 in our school parking lot. There will be food, vendors, activities, and live performances. We are proud of our student leaders who have worked hard to put on this event, and we hope you can come out and celebrate their great work!

We hope you have a restful and restorative weekend!

The CDC recommends people aged 12 years and older who got COVID-19 vaccines before September 12, 2023 should get an updated vaccine.

Risk factors for serious illness from flu or covid include asthma, diabetes, weakened immune system, and other chronic health conditions.

The Teen Health Center has both 2023-2024 Flu and COVID-19 vaccines available for students. If you are interested in your child receiving either vaccine, registration and parent consent forms are available in Room 2060.
