“SPIRIT FRIDAY” OFFICIAL KICKOFF THIS WEEK
The football season kicks off this Friday at home against Red Mountain, and that means it’s CHS’s first official Spirit Friday! DECA is hosting a pre-pre-game celebration before school with music, dancing, donuts and spirit wear. First hours are donning their blue and white and competing for the title of “Most Spirited” and the chance to win a donut breakfast, sponsored by StuCo. Students wearing Chandler gear this Friday will also receive a lunchtime surprise. Finally, the Wolf Pack Band will play throughout the hallways at the end of 6th hour. “We’ve got spirit, yes we do…!”

Throughout the month of August, the Student Services team is working with all 12th grade English classes on career planning, post-high school investigation, programs of study and paying for college. The students are getting a lot of information about resources that are available to them at school and online. This is an important year for these graduating seniors and we want to arm them with all of the best resources and options. You will see dates of events highlighted each week in Wolf Bytes.
Each student at CHS has individual access to AZCIS (Arizona Career Information System). This site offers a place for students to build a resume, track service and extracurricular activities, explore careers, learn about options after high school, search for scholarships and much more. The Student Services team meets with a different grade level during each quarter. Check out what AZCIS has to offer! Go to azcis.intocareers.org and click on the "Just Browsing" tab.
