Her silver medal recognition qualifies her for competition at Nationals in Denver, Colorado, this summer. CHS and The DEN are proud of both of this year's Culinary Arts competitors, Olivia and Dale!

Mrs. Sowell and Ms. Peterson's classes enjoyed a great outing today to Hagan City Park. Students had the opportunity to work on motor skills and social development outside the classroom.

Coach Lanier's World History/World Lit class spent the last few weeks covering Totalitarianism & the Rise of Dictators between WWI & WWII. The students wrote an argumentative essay over which dictator(Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Hirihito) they believe to be the most ruthless. As students put together the final pieces of their paper, they provided peer evaluation, giving constructive feedback. This communication and collaboration led to awesome final versions of their essays.

Best wishes to these two Culinary Arts students who are competing at the state level today! Olivia Mejia began preparing a pork tenderloin-centered meal at 9 AM, and Dale Kennison will participate in the chicken fabrication event at 1 PM. The results will be announced tomorrow, so stay tuned! #TheDEN
