Curriculum Night
Last week’s Curriculum Night was a great success. Incoming students and their parents received valuable information about CHS and its numerous programs. The event included performances by the CHS Band and Treblemakers, a presentation by Mr. Rother, and displays from each department showcasing their students and programs. Curriculum Night once again proved that CHS is not only the school of choice but also the “School of Champions.”

black violin
Several CHS Wolves, as well as other CUSD students, attended the 11th annual School Assembly as a part of the 2016 City of Chandler Celebration of Unity Events. Black Violin, an American hip hop duo from Florida, performed in front of a packed CCA house of excited spectators. The duo, composed of two classically- trained violinists Wil B. and Kev Marcus, combine pop culture through a fusion of classical, jazz, hip- hop, blues and R&B. Wil B explains, “We encourage kids to think creatively, to take what they love doing and try to come up with something no one has ever done before, and that doesn’t just apply to playing violin or even music, but whatever it is you decide to do. Expand your mind. Once we get their attention with the music, that’s the message we want to deliver.” Their ability to connect with people of all ages, experiences, and backgrounds distinguishes them and shapes their evolving performance style. With a passion for arts education, the duo hopes to encourage kids to pursue their dreams and education through their performance. Black Violin has performed with Alicia Keys at the Billboard Awards and with other big artists such as the Wu- Tang Clan, and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park.
