CHS Graduation Is Being Reviewed For Alternative Options

Just a quick note to our seniors and their families that we are reviewing options to honor our graduates this spring. 

This ever-changing environment makes it difficult to plan for upcoming events. We hope our response to prevent the spread of this virus minimizes local impact so we can have more options available that fit public health guidelines in May. 

At this time, we know that a traditional graduation ceremony will not be possible in May, so we're exploring alternative methods to honor the Class of 2020.  We hope to have an announcement later this month.

Again, thank you for your continued patience as we all adjust to new routines and changing expectations!
