Happy Administrative Professionals Day to these Rockstars! You all are the glue that keeps our district together. Thank you for all that you do!
We happened to notice the viral picture of old driving simulators being shared around on social media today, so we thought it'd be the perfect time to share that coincidentally, the driving simulators at Charleston High School just recently got upgraded from ones just like those! Out with the old and in with the new!!
