Tonight's tennis match at home vs Robinson has been cancelled. We will try to schedule a make up date soon.

CHS Students and Families, We were made aware on Friday that there were negative things being said about CHS students on a social media platform. We quickly began working on this issue when notified. We have reported the account/posts to the platform. We have shared the information with the Charleston Police Department. We are continually working on this matter. We have higher expectations for our students than what was demonstrated here. We expect our students to conduct themselves appropriately at all times both in-person and online. The type of behavior exhibited through these recent posts is completely unacceptable. We expect more from our students. CHS Administration

Tonight's Girls Golf Match vs St. Thomas More at the Charleston Country Club has been cancelled.
