Hello Parents & Guardians, This past week was a terrific week at CHS. Despite the delayed opening on Wednesday, we had outstanding 8th grade parent night with student presenters including senior Jeffrey Allen, freshman Nick Carignan and sophomore Travis Tucker. Also on hand, were many enthusiastic students involved in extracurricular activities. I’d also like to thank our curriculum facilitators Heidi Paris, Patrick Keefe, Cate Devine, and Bill Pothier for their assistance at the event. We’d also like to thank seniors Abi Gray and Ethan Burns for being CHS ambassadors during the LMS course selection process. Senior Noah Vaughn has advanced to final standing in the National Merit Scholarship program. Congratulations to him on that next step. Congratulations to senior Emily Coughlin on being chosen as top 10%, New Hampshire honoree for the Prudential Spirit of Community Service Awards for her outstanding volunteerism! February Student of the Month is senior Emily Coughlin and the Star of the Month is junior Demi Dionne. Nice job, ladies! With counselors finalizing visits to classrooms for course selections, teachers Aimee Gaspar, Nick Sica, Heidi Paris, Kelsey Sullivan, Dala Johnson, Sean Conley, and Shannon Szepan were instrumental in providing time for this to happen. Don’t forget the PTO meeting has been rescheduled until Wednesday at 6:30 in the CHS Learning Commons. Have a great week everyone! Bill Lonergan, Principal
