It is time for the Battle of the Books. If you're new to the Chap community, the district high school teacher-librarians drive this event, and the entire competition takes place on one day: Saturday, February 7, 2026, at Douglas County High School. We are looking for gift card donations of $10-20 for prizes!
If you're not familiar with the high school version, teams of (up to) 4 answer trivia questions covering 9 books — books nominated and voted on by the students early last fall. The event begins with a round-robin during which every team participates in at least three battles. Then we move on to the Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight, the Final Four, and, yes, eventually, the Championship! Chaparral is bringing 13 teams totaling 49 readers to the event — by far the most teams and the most competitors in DCSD!
DCSD High School Battle of the Books is run by the high school librarians, and there is no budget for the event. The DCSD teacher-librarians want every participant to leave with a prize, and given Chaparral's large representation, we try to bring the most prizes.

Watching these book-loving kids enthusiastically and joyfully and kindly battle other teams is one of the most beautiful experiences in DCSD. We thank you for your support of this cause and your support of these kids!

JROTC
What Is Army JROTC?
Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is a leadership and character development program offered during the high school day. It is designed to help students build confidence, responsibility, teamwork, and life skills.
Key focus areas include:
- Leadership development
- Citizenship and service
- Personal responsibility and discipline
- Teamwork and communication
- College and career readiness
Important: JROTC is not military enlistment. Students do not incur any military obligation by participating. Classes count toward PE , Practical Art or elective credit
What JROTC Is Not
JROTC is not:
- A military recruitment program
- Boot camp
- A requirement to join the Army
- Only for students planning a military career
Students can participate with no intention of military service and still gain meaningful skills and benefits.
The environment is structured but supportive, with an emphasis on growth—not perfection.
Time Commitment- During the School Day:
- JROTC counts as a scheduled high school class
How JROTC Can Help Students in the Future
Participation in JROTC can:
- Strengthen college, scholarship, and job applications
- Build resumes with leadership and service experience
- Improve confidence, communication, and accountability
- Support career exploration (military and civilian paths)
Interested Students! Attend an informational meeting on Monday, February 2nd @ 10:00 a.m.
Sign up in Naviance or see Mrs. McCaw in the College & Career Center.
