A message from the Principal
I know these are uncertain times and we will continue to work together to make the best of the situation. To keep some sense of normalcy, I will continue to send out the Cavalier Contact to provide updates and other information that I am able to for students and parents. Please visit our staff directory at https://www.ccps.us/chs/staff-directory/ if you need to reach your teachers, counselors, or the administration. If you have questions or concerns, then please do not hesitate to contact me at jjust@ccps.us or (804) 633-9886 ext 5113.
Sincerely,
Mr. Joshua Just
Principal
Caroline High School
Congratulations to the following CHS Students!
CCPS is proud of our Chesapeake Bay Governor's School seniors for their amazing presentations at the VCU Science Symposium on Saturday, March 7th.
Special congratulations to Alyrica Kelley, Daysianna Green, Cassidy Cooper, Helen Laguerta, and Josie Worrell who were recognized for exemplary projects and presentations. Thanks to all the CBGS teachers who worked alongside each student throughout the process!
Virtual Senior Week
Student of the Month - Lindsey Gorham
Lindsey Marie Gorham was selected for February at Caroline High School. She is president of the Art Club, helped to organize the CHS History Club, and often volunteers at thrift shops. She also continues to maintain a straight A average. Lindsey is putting her artistic talent to use as she completes murals for each department of Caroline High School. The paintings depict a famous person representing that subject, and riding on horseback to honor our Cavalier mascot. She has already completed Vincent Van Gogh and Edgar Allan Poe. She plans on adding a mural for Katherine Johnson in the science hallway next.
After graduation, Lindsey plans to attend college and major in engineering, architecture, or design.

COVID - 19 Resources for CHS
Please remember that students with internet access can visit the sites above to view the review activities for core subjects during this closure. Hard copies of this information were also available for students to pick up last week at CHS. If you were unable to pick up a packet, then please contact Mr. Just.
Students were provided 10 activities for each course and they are responsible for submitting two activities for each subject when school reopens. Students will have 5 school days after we return to submit these assignments. Please reach out to your counselor or Mr. Just if you have questions.
