CHS Juniors Rock the ACT!

Another example of Chadron High students doing Chadron High things! 

After two weeks of successes at state CTE conferences (FBLA, FCCLA, FFA), scores from the junior's state ACT tests have come in.  Unofficial results show that this year's junior class has scored the highest averages for CHS since the first year of the state ACT tests in 2017!   Specific averages in English and Math were individually the highest our students have ever scored on state testing.

First, a congratulations to our junior class and to all the many teachers and staff that align and support academic success at Chadron High School!  Second, a thank you to our parents and families for your trusting and supporting partnership!

Unofficially, Chadron's 2024 composite average is 21.0.  As a comparison, last year the state average was 19.2.   These are the scores for all juniors who are required to take the ACT as part of the Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System (NSCAS).

FBLA Qualifies Two for Nationals!

The Chadron High Future Business Leaders of America attended the annual State Leadership Conference in Kearney, NE on April 11-13. To start the conference, students were motivated as they listened to the keynote speaker, John Beede and attended a variety of workshops. But most importantly, Chadron students competed amongst all class levels in many different business competitions. This conference was attended by over 2,000 students and advisors this year. Although Chadron FBLA traveled only 13 members to the state competition this year, they brought home several honors.
