One of CHS’s most cherished traditions is when football players invite staff members to wear their jerseys for the day. This heartfelt gesture is a way for the players to honor those who have made a lasting impact on their lives. For our staff members, being asked to represent a student in this way is not only a tremendous honor but also a meaningful reminder of the special bonds we build. It’s a tradition that celebrates both the student-athletes and the educators who play a crucial role in shaping their lives.

Ms. Golbek's and Mrs. Bright's environmental science classes were able to visit a work of art in nature last week when a tree was struck by lightning right here in our community. The lightning strike exposed the inner heartwood of the tree and made for an intriguing lesson on tree anatomy, animal habitats, and the effects of weather on an ecosystem. Thank you to the community member who reached out about this amazing wonder.

Our jazz band students traveled to Northeastern State University in Tahlequah to attend the Oklahoma Jazz Educators Annual Fall Workshop. The students attended masterclasses with clinicians from all over the country covering topics such as: All-State jazz audition music, improvisation, and the swinging rhythm section. Our students also got to watch the NSU Jazz Ensemble rehearse and perform. This was a rewarding experience for our students to get a taste of what being a musician at a college is like, and to grow fellowship with students from other schools across Northeast Oklahoma.

In AP European History, students concluded the French Revolution unit with a mock trial of Louis XVI. They took on roles as prosecutors, defenders, witnesses, and jury members, using historical facts and critical thinking to argue the case. The prosecution won, leading to the symbolic execution of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and others, marking the beginning of the Reign of Terror. It was a fun, interactive way to engage with the material and bring history to life.
Zebra Family, The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please be assured that CPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast. All sites have reviewed our safety protocols.
