MEET MS. FRETZ-LOWE

CHS SECURITY GUARD; NO STRAGER TO OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

Every staff member here at CHS has walked down a different path to get to where they are now. For security guard, Brandi Fretz-Lowe, that path included dropping out of high school and getting her GED, having a child, and being the first in her family to graduate from college.

DONUT KNOW WHAT WE WOULD DO WITHOUT STUDENTS LIKE YOU!!!

Every month Combs High School recognizes their students of the month. These are students who show exceptional character and drive for success. The students have to be nominated by Faculty, staff and administration. Their names then go to a panel of teachers to be voted on. The students that are chosen will meet with administration during conference time in the front office to receive their nomination letters and are served donuts to celebrate their achievement.

CHS NOVEMBER STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

COUNSELORS CORNER

Heather from MiKid has been in the Freshman classrooms presenting the Signs of Suicide information as part of our Suicide Awareness and Prevention campaign. Students have appreciated hearing from her and learning from her unique experiences. Mr. Outcalt has been working with the Senior English teachers to help students understand the importance of filling out their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to get scholarships and grants for college. There is now an app for students to use and they had the chance to get their applications started which is exciting news! Mrs. P and several seniors toured ASU and had the chance to see the campus and get more information about the college and what it has to offer our students...it was a great visit and very informative.
