The Cavalier Contact
Volume 3 - Issue 8 - September 19, 2021
A Message from the Principal
We have just completed our fifth week of school here at CHS for the 2021-2022 SY. Teachers like Mr. Anderson in Autotech and Mr. Gravatt in Agriculture have invited groups like Universal Technical Institute (UTI) to speak to students. UTI provided students with a live demonstration on NASCAR Technology at CHS this past week (pictured above).
Students and families need to keep updated by reading the Cavalier Contact weekly for all things Caroline High School. Please take a few minutes and read this week's issue of the Cavalier Contact. This issue contains information related to homecoming 2021 and more. If you have any questions, then please do not hesitate to contact me at jjust@ccps.us or by calling (804)633-9886 ext 5113. Thank you for helping us with the goal of all Cavaliers learning today and leading tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Mr. Joshua Just
