PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
CHS is busy making plans to honor our Veterans on November 11th. We are looking to collect information on any veterans who are related to our staff and students. If you or a loved one has served in any branch of the armed forces, please share a photo along with name, title, and relationship to staff or student at CHS. Photos can be scanned and/or emailed to parkerc@calhounschools.org by Nov. 10th. We look forward to celebrating them on Nov. 11th with our special Veterans Day slideshow!
We will also have a special edition of our CHS morning announcements and a segment with an interview with a veteran on staff at CHS (Dr. Scott Marcus).
