Dear Cavalier Families, 

Welcome December! 

As we approach the end of the fall season and welcome the winter months, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible achievements and experiences we have shared as a school community. It has been a time filled with growth, learning, and connection, and I am truly grateful for the dedication and support of our students, staff, and families.  

This fall, there were many outstanding accomplishments in academics, athletics, and the arts. Our students continue to make academic growth, showing gains in reading and math. Our students excelled in sports competitions such as Esports, Robotics, and Volleyball. They showcased their talents in performances such as “The Aristocrats” and “A Christmas Cafe,” and engaged in meaningful community service projects such as blood, food, and hat/sock/gloves drives. These achievements demonstrate the hard work and commitment of our educators, the enthusiasm of our students, and the unwavering support from our families. We are incredibly proud of every Cavalier!

As we transition into winter, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your involvement in our school community. Your participation in events, whether through volunteering, attending meetings, or simply encouraging your children, has made a significant impact on our school environment. Together, we have fostered a sense of belonging and pride that enriches the educational experience for all.

I would like to invite you to join us for several exciting events happening in December. These gatherings are wonderful opportunities to connect with other families, celebrate our students' achievements, and embrace the spirit of the season. Please mark your calendars for the following events:

  • December 12: Holiday Band and Choir Concert @ 7:00 pm, CHS gym

  • December 20: Last day of school before winter break
