A Note from Dr. Malone

Dear Black Knights,

What a remarkable week at CHS. Our Fall Band and Orchestra performances were nothing short of beautiful—moments of artistry and collaboration that showcased both the talent of our students and the dedication of our directors. Thank you to everyone who filled the auditorium and helped create such a warm, appreciative atmosphere.

And on Friday, our CHS Diversity Assembly—centered on the theme We All Belong at CHS—was truly transcendent. The performances, reflections, and student leadership on display reminded us why our community is so special.

As we head into the Thanksgiving break, I want to express my gratitude for our students, staff, and families who make CHS a place of belonging and pride. I hope you each find rest, connection, and moments of joy in the days ahead.

Before signing off for the week, please take a moment to watch this week’s Late Knight News – Gratitude Edition. Our student journalists and storytellers have put together something especially meaningful for this season.

I Love the Knight Life!

Dr. Malone

CSH food pantry

CHS Food Pantry and Closing

The pantry will be located in the front lobby between the two sets of entrance doors. We are waiting on the delivery of our shelf, but in the meantime we will be using the table that is set up. I know it's a big ask, but if you find yourself at the store tonight or tomorrow consider grabbing an item or two. Of course, we will be taking donations at any time going forward, but heading into this long weekend some families are feeling anxious. We also have a live Amazon Wishlist if that is more convenien
