"No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another." - Joseph Addison
These administrative professionals are indeed the glue that keeps the day-to-day of our school system together. They are the face of our school, the worker bees, the gatekeepers, the tear dryers, the efficiency experts, the school moms, the money counters, the answer to all our questions, and the heartbeat of the sites. Let's meet our CHS Administrative Professionals!
