The event celebrated the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women the right to vote.
BLACK STUDENT UNION
Chandler High’s Black Student Union (BSU) has hosted a number of events to celebrate Black History Month. The BSU and sponsor Mrs. Angela Cicero have scheduled four guest speakers as part of the BSU Symposium, made special announcements celebrating famous firsts by African-Americans, and is sponsoring this week’s spirit week. Check out the BSU table in the courtyard during lunches for trivia, music, and more. Excellent work, BSU!
TEEN TOWN HALL
Last Tuesday, students attended the 11th annual Teen Town Hall hosted by The City of Chandler Mayor’s Youth Commission. Teen Town Hall aims to expose junior high and high school students to the local government and encourage them to make their voices heard in the community by following the local government action process. This year’s topic was school safety and students heard from both Chandler’s Police and Fire Departments.

THIS WEEK’S SPRING MUSICAL
It’s 1955, and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing yong man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with great Elvis classics such as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.” Come and see Chandler High’s spring musical All Shook Up February 26-29! Tickets on sale now in the CHS Bookstore, or buy them at the door.
