Panther Pause
21 years of Pride at Colleyville Heritage High School
11.10.17
Panthers,
It has been a great week at CHHS full of PRIDE! We had several athletes sign letters of intent with colleges on Wednesday, and are so excited see them advance post high school in their sports! Our volleyball team advanced to the 5A Region 1 Volleyball Tournament in Abilene and will play today at 4pm. We wish them the best of luck! Our football team plays tonight against Richland HS at the Panther Stadium tonight at 7:30pm for the district championship, and will advance to the Bi-Distirct round on Friday night at 7:30pm against Arlington Heights. We hope to see everyone there loud and proud in the stands!
Our students and staff at CHHS do so many amazing things. Please make sure to read the Panther Pause in its entirety - there are several upcoming events and fundraisers for our many programs and activities. I also encourage everyone to attend the annual Color Run tomorrow morning at CHHS to help put an end to human trafficking. This is a great event for the community and school to work together for a greater cause.
Remember that next week is our last week before Thanksgiving Break. Have a great weekend and GO PANTHERS!
Dr. Lance Groppel

Student Voice
Define what PRIDE means to you at CHHS.
Pride at CHHS is founded by hard work and dedication. CHHS provides great opportunities, programs, and staff to lead students to become a better person in school, in family, and in life. The hard word that the students put into their organization is what makes CHHS great, and is something that CHHS can be proud of. Pride not only represents the sweat and tears of the students, but it also represents the hours of work and dedication from the staff. Pride for CHHS is not something that will fade away when I graduate, but it is something that will resonate throughout my life knowing that CHHS has impacted me; not only as a student, but also as a person.
