Thursday featured a special moment at CHS. Our graduating seniors met the future Class of 2038 on stage to celebrate their kindergarten graduation.

As each senior placed a medal around a younger student's neck, it marked a passing of the torch. One journey ends as another begins, and we couldn’t be prouder of both classes.

Congratulations to our seniors on their leadership and support of the Class of 2038's first big milestone!
