Throughout the school year, CHS hosted and participated in several events to keep students socially active with their peers, and provided a time for them to wind down from all the stress of homework and assignments. We reached out to seniors about their favorite event this year, and these were the favorites we got!

Renaissance

“I chose to do the Renaissance Senior Talent Show because I wanted to finally show the niche skills and abilities I’ve developed, and wanted to leave this chapter of my life with a BANG!” -Luke Erickson

Orchestra

“I enjoyed playing music in the orchestra concerts, it’s a great opportunity to play for the school.” -Lorelei Gwynn

Bingo

“I chose bingo because it was a competitive and fun environment plus the prizes were pretty good.” – Mollie Best

Model UN

“I joined Model UN because many of my friends from the previous year told me about how much fun it was to go. This year, since I knew a few other people who were joining, it made sense to try something new that would be exciting and hopefully teach me something. It took lots of work, but during the trip I had such an amazing time, looking back I realize how many friends I made because of the trip. ” -Owen Starner

Playoff-Bound Boys Volleyball SeasonĀ 

“The dynamic of the sport is very team work oriented and in order to play well you need to have a good relationship with your teammates as a result the team is very tight-knit like a family. That’s why I like the sport, I wasn’t born with brothers instead I met them on the court.” -Michael Stoner III

Home Track Meets

“I always seemed to perform better at home meets, something about the atmosphere. I got my two most major PR (Personal Records) at home meets.” – Alex Ftohidis
