COUNSELORS CORNER
Did you know? If students are looking for a fine art credit but aren't musical or interested in dance, there are still options! Drawing and Painting and Ceramics with Mr. Martin and Ms. Diquattro are a great way to explore and expand your artistic abilities, or to even start your journey into the world of art. We also offer AP Art Studio as an option AND Combs High School even has a kiln on site so students can fire their ceramic pieces. Would you like to see some of our students' creations? It's often on display in the cases and on the walls of the front office, and will not only give you a glimpse of how talented our students are, but how our amazing art teachers are helping them refine that talent. Stop and take a look next time you stop by!
Upcoming Events:
- February 27: ACCUPLACER test, administered by CAC

SAY YES TO PROM!!!
Prom season is inching closer to us and it is time for students to start looking for their attire. For many, prom, is not an option due to the expense. Say Yes to Prom is here to help alleviate the stress and expense of the wardrobe. With over 1000 dresses, some men's attire, and accessories we can help everyone experience the magic of prom.

ARIZONA YOUTH SURVEY
Combs High School Sophomores and Seniors will be participating in the Arizona Youth Survey on Tuesday, February 18th. The participation is important to our campus and district because it will capture student feedback on the frequency of problematic behaviors in youth (i.e. substance use, bullying, risk taking behaviors), and the factors that may influence the prevalence of these behaviors. The collective results will then help us to offer social-emotional programming and better support our CHS students. The survey will take about 45 minutes and will be completed during the class period on the 18th. Survey responses are anonymous and confidential. If you choose to not have your student participate in the survey, please return the opt-out form attached in this newsletter to the CHS front office. The opt-out forms will also be available in hard copy in the front office at CHS. We thank you in advance for your support of this survey.

We are proud to award over $7,000 in college scholarships each year, and we enjoy helping young women learn skills that empower them to achieve their dreams. Cinderella is all about inner beauty, that is expressed by each participant as she steps across the stage. Our goal is to foster self-confidence and public speaking skills in young women and encourage our judges to look for girls who are equally poised, personable, and talented.
