Senator Square: FFA students compete in national contest

The students and staff made it through another year of proficiency testing. We wait and see how the students fared.

We have no school Monday as CHS is closed for Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all of the courageous men and women who have served our country in both times of peace and war.
