CHS: Earth Day 2024 was an overwhelming success. Our students pulled together and worked hard to accomplish projects at various locations around the community. Our students then enjoyed a cookout and movie in the gym with our new audio/video system. Students should be very proud of their accomplishment and clear demonstration of a great work ethic and care for the Earth. We would like to thank our coordinators: Mrs. Hankins and Mrs. Mueller, our sponsors: Lee's Sports and Pepsi MidAmerica, our cooperating feeder schools: CGS, St. John's Lutheran, and St. Mary’s Catholic, as well as all of our hard working CHS students and staff.
