Captain's Club
We embarked on our mission to help foster leadership opportunities for a group of CHS students. Students have been identified by their coaches/staff as possessing leadership characteristics. Mr. Doyle is meeting with these students monthly to assist them in the process of continuing the evolution of becoming leaders in all the facets of their lives. The group will explore ways to positively impact the Clio community and participate in initiatives to make this the place to be.

Traver Talk
As we approach the end of another school year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for making this year great. At CHS, we take PRIDE in our students and their commitment to learning each and every day.
It has been truly inspiring to see so many of you embody these qualities and make our school community a better place. This year, our staff has awarded a total of 896 PRIDE tickets to students who have demonstrated exceptional behavior and dedication to their education. These students have been recognized weekly through prize drawings, and as we approach the last week of school, we are excited to continue this tradition of celebrating your achievements.During the final week of school, we will be hosting prize drawings at lunch and at the end of each day.
To support you in your exam preparation, we invite all students to a Sundae Study Sesh on Monday 6/10 in the cafeteria. Join us from 2:30-4:30 to study, receive help from teachers, and enjoy an ice cream provided by the CHS PTO. Please remember to arrange for a ride home after the event, or fill out an after-school bus form if you live in-district and plan to ride the bus home at 4:30.
As we approach exam days, we kindly ask that parents refrain from calling students out of class unless it is an emergency. Each call-out disrupts the exam environment for other students, so we appreciate your cooperation in minimizing interruptions during this important time.
Thank you once again for an incredible year, and let's finish strong together!
