CHS Daily Announcements

Today’s Announcements are for Wednesday, February 1, 2023

February is Black History Month:  the celebration began as “Negro History Week,” which was created in 1926 by Carter G. Woodson, a noted African American historian, scholar, educator and publisher. It became a month-long celebration in 1976. The month of February was chosen to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.
