This project will allow extra room for mowers, golf carts and people to utilize that section of ground 🚜🛺🚶♀️. It could also become part of the cross country course that has been created on the opposite end of the pond 🏃♂️🌳.
The platform is going to be a cantilever style with a handrail and ramps on each end 🧰📏.
The goal for all PBL/WBL students is to attain 300 hours of successful employment and be considered career ready at graduation 🎓💼. Those students who are career ready receive a notation on their diploma and a cord to wear at graduation 🎖️🎉.

Through interactive games and activities, student and adult leaders explored the core components of Sources of Strength, discussed common stressors, and learned how to help peers tap into their own strengths to overcome challenges. 🧠💙
We’re proud of these incredible Panthers for stepping up to make CCHS a stronger, more supportive community! 🙌🖤💛

Working together, they solved clues, decoded messages, and raced against the clock to “escape” while reviewing one of the most important early chapters in U.S. government history.
Way to go, Panthers, for making history come alive through teamwork and critical thinking!
Mrs. McCarty’s Spanish 3 & 4 classes took on a delicious challenge last week — making Pan de Muerto without an oven and with only 45 minutes from start to finish!
The students learned that yes, it is possible to “bake” in the classroom! While the final product might not have looked perfect, it was absolutely delicious. Even better, the entire lesson was done completely in Spanish.
Next up: the class will use what they learned to make adjustments (also written in Spanish!) and prepare for their own Rosca de Reyes celebration in January. ¡Qué divertido y delicioso!
