CHSS Wax Museum
One of Mrs. Polk's middle school math groups were given the task to research a key person in the Corps of Discovery Expedition. The students were assigned to write a research paper about their key person and portray them as a wax figure for all to experience. When viewers pushed a button, the wax figures came to life and shared details about their significance in the Corps of Discovery Expedition.

Senior Night at CHSS
Thursday was Senior night at CHSS with the basketball teams playing Manteo. The Senior basketball players, cheerleaders, wrestlers, and book keepers were honored. This class is one that is very active in the school and many participate in extra curricular activities. It was an emotional time to see some of these young men and women take the basketball court for the last time here at CHSS. We wish all the seniors good luck in the future and will always be here to support them. Thank you 2016 Senior Class for the memories and your dedication to this school.

Senior Retires
Luis "Senior" Martinez has taught Spanish and coached soccer at CHSS and Dare County Schools for over 22 years. He has helped many students on and off the field in his career. Some still come back to visit him and share their stories about soccer games. Senior is always encouraging students to strive for success and make choices that will improve their life. His example of hard work and enthusiasm will be missed. We all wish Senior the best of luck in retirement and hope you come back to visit. You will be missed.

Middle School Students Receive Chromebooks
This past week CHSS Middle School Students received their new Dell Chromebooks. These devices will help students in the classroom prepare and stay on top of all course material. Each CHSS student has the opportunity to have one to take home for the rest of the school year and bring back each day. Teachers are requiring students to have a Chromebook for the 2nd semester or bring their own laptop from home to use in the classroom.
