City High Update
The School That Leads
February 18, 2019
Dear Little Hawks,
Greetings from The School That Leads! Just two weeks left in our second trimester. We encourage all Little Hawks to finish strong! There will be no school for students on March 4 (records day). Third trimester begins on Tuesday, march 5. Check out our news in this week's Update.
Registration Season!
Guidance counselors are in the process of meeting with students about course selection for the 2019-20 school year. City High offers one of the most robust course catalogs in the state of Iowa. We are proud of our wide-ranging course opportunities. I encourage all parents to talk with students about course selection, explore the great choices, and contact our guidance counselors with questions.
Performing Arts Program is Thriving!
City High Theater, Band, Jazz Band, Choir, Show Choir, Orchestra, and Pit Orchestra have all had wonderful achievements recently. Our music students and faculty are dedicated, hard-working, and talented. We are proud of you!
Jazz Band
Jazz Ensemble placed first at this weekend's jazz festival at Liberty High. Awesome!
Grand Champs!
4th Avenue Jazz won the Grand Championship at the Indianola Show/Jazz Encounter competition. Phenomenal job.
Les Miserables Coming in April
Rehearsals are progressing nicely for this very special production. We cannot wait for this one!

Our student leaders collaborated with each other at the state Best Buddies conference. Thank you for all you do for our school.
Field Trip to Chicago Auto Show
City High students traveled with West and Liberty to the Chicago Auto Show. We thank School Board Director Phil Hemmingway for his leadership to make this experience possible for students.
Mock Trial Set for Competition
City High Mock Trial has four (which is incredible! ) teams entered in the regional Mock Trial competition. The first step on their road to State is regionals at the University of Iowa College of Law on March 2. Good luck to our students and Coaches Hardesty and Schumann.
Come Support MVC Champion Women's Basketball!
City High's 19-2 varisty women's basketball team won its seventh consecutive MVC Championship, clinching the title with a victory over CR Wash last week. Seven in a row! Amazing. The team takes on Bettendorf for a birth in the State Tournament on Tuesday (tomorrow) at 7:00 pm. Be there!
