Today’s Announcements are for Friday, January 27, 2023
Attention sophomores and juniors: Please check your email for an important message regarding the CHS internship program. Applications and teacher recommendations are due by February 17, 2023. If you are looking for an internship within the school, we offer placements within CHS Industries such as working in Trojan Brew, Trojan Design Center making t-shirts and/or posters, creating/updating the webpage and social media, Trojan A & M Center, and the Trojan Greenhouse. Links to all required documents are in the email. An internship (in or outside of the building) is an excellent opportunity to learn more about a career field of interest prior to graduation. See Mrs. Niebrugge with questions.

We are reviving the CHS Unite organization this semester. This group is intended to be a racially diverse group that works on uniting our students and staff by raising awareness of the rich history and cultures of the many races and nationalities represented here at CHS. Our goal will be to educate, inform and share information as well as provide a safe and inviting place for minorities in our CHS family.
Our meetings will be during the lunch hours on early dismissal days. You can bring your lunch to room 412. Our first meeting will be this Friday, Jan 27. This will be an organizational meeting to begin the process of electing officers and getting acquainted with the goals of the group.
Explore more in 2024. Let's go to the top of the world! Please pop into room 207 during lunch today to find out more information about an exciting trip to Iceland.
The library will be closed for the first half of lunch, but will open around 11:30.
