WINTER SPORTS SEASON
The winter sports season is underway with teams working hard in preparation for a successful campaign. A special note of congratulations to our boys' and girls' soccer teams for another outstanding season that saw both teams go deep into districts and qualify for the state playoffs. We are proud of your hard work and accomplishment.
NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
CB East is pleased to welcome 171 new members into the National Honor Society. These outstanding young men and women are commended for their excellence in academics, commitment to service, demonstration of character and their penchant for leadership.
KEYSTONE EXAMS
December marks the beginning of Keystone Exams in Literature for all sophomores and juniors. The Keystone Exams replace the 11th grade PSSA tests and now serve as Pennsylvania's standardized assessment for determining CB East's AYP status. Tests will be administered December 4th-December 7th. Best wishes to all of our test takers.
COURSE SELECTION PROCESS
The holiday season moves quickly, and just around the corner in January is course registration for the 2013-2014 school year. You can utilize the link below to start studying potential course selection options for next year. The portal will open in January with more details to follow.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
The impact of hurricane Sandy served as a stark reminder about the importance of helping those in need. We are grateful for the many efforts of organizations in our school to help those less fortunate in our immediate community, and also, to support our troops overseas. Through our Thanksgiving food drive, our coat drive, our toy drive and care packages sent to soldiers in foreign countries, CB East continues to rise to the challenge of supporting others.
