CHS’s own FLEX winner, Morelia Ramos, will be competing in the state FLEX Finals on Friday, April 12. The competition will be a little different from last year and will be divided into two portions. The first portion will be from 11:30am-12:30 pm. Morelia will present a 1-2 minute elevator speech sometime during this timeframe. The judges will also have a private interview with her at 9:30 am regarding her business. From the elevator speech and interview, the judges will select the top 3 businesses. Only the top 3 businesses will give their full presentation (similar to last year) at 1:30 pm and can be viewed live as well. If you would like to see all the businesses’ elevator speeches, they will be available on livestream at www.youtube.com/@georgiaflexcompetition from 11:30am-12:30pm. We will update this post if Morelia makes it to the final round. We’re so proud of Morelia and can’t wait to watch her exhibit her #TigerPride during her elevator speech. #TheDEN #FLEX

Students in Mrs. Lane's Introduction to Business classes have recently learned about professional business correspondences. Students were challenged to write a professional letter to a celebrity or business that they admired. Tiya Patel, a sophomore in Mrs. Lane's class, was the first to receive a response from the Chick-fil-a franchisee, Mr. David Boykin, of the Statesboro restaurant. Thank you, Chick-fil-a! #LifeSkils #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess #TheDEN

The calendar pages are flipping quickly on the 23-24 school year, and our Work-Based Learning students are keeping pace! I was able to spend a few of those quickly passing moments with senior Simone Eason at her job at Southern Family Medicine. Simone works at the front desk, and she completes tasks from appointment reminders to greeting patients to answering the nurse line. She has learned skills that will transfer to the next phase of life. After graduation, Simone plans to attend Savannah State University and major in communications. Her time in this role at Southern Family Medicine has provided a great foundation for her future path. Way to go, Simone! You make CHS proud! #RealLife #TheDEN #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess

Just before spring break, The DEN hosted this year's Annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet. The CHS cafeteria was transformed into a beautiful venue, and Culinary Arts provided catering for the event. The meal, prepared for the 165 ticket holders, consisted of a mixed greens salad dressed in a vinaigrette, smoked ham, mushroom smothered chicken breasts, garlic whipped potatoes, squash casserole, green beans, warm rolls, and banana pudding. The DEN is grateful for this opportunity to serve our community!

Mrs. Cowart, Ms. Christin, and Ms. Amber had a blast learning about solar eclipses 🌞🌑. They tested out some awesome eclipse glasses 😎 and reviewed important safety guidelines 🚦. They also got creative, drawing chalk illustrations of the eclipse 🖍️, and wrapped up with an informative video 📺.
