Chamber Concert April 24th at 7:00 PM
The Chamber Concert is a night for students in the music department to perform chamber works - solos, duets, quintets, etc. This small group setting allows musicians to showcase their skills in a more intimate way compared to their normal ensemble. Students will increase self-confidence and gain independence from their conductor through this experience.
The concert will begin at 7:00 in the Como Auditorium. Tickets may be purchased at the door: $5 for students, $7 for adults, or pay what you can (cash/check). Proceeds help us raise funds to support our growing music program!

Wow! Thank you, Como Park Cadets & Staff. With great success and thanks to the Senior Cadet Leadership, the Como Park MCJROTC program went through its semi-annual "TMCI" IG inspection. It lasted two days and included all aspects of the program compliance, safety, operations, training, period of instruction, education, logistics, administration, policies, procedures, uniforms, cleanliness, cadet events, morale, and lastly, all hands formation & uniform inspection. That JROTC Cougar pride was alive, and all cadet's prep and practice paid off by earning the grade of "EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS" in all areas for the first time ever at CPSHS. Thank you all very much.

Last Sunday, Coach Londa and a few girls from the Como girls basketball team went to see Harriet Spencer perform in the amazing play, Alice In Wonderland at the Children’s Theater in Minneapolis. The play goes until March 31st, 2024 and is a great show for everyone. She plays the White Rabbit and does a wonderful job!
