Gold Star - We Won!

Congratulations to all the parents and students of Chillicothe High School. We won!

The High School was notified this past Friday that we had been selected as one of 13 schools in the state of Missouri to be named a GOLD STAR School. In checking past records, I believe that this is a first in Chillicothe High School history. The list of thank yous and "great job" could go on forever; obviously our Administration and Board of Education for their support. I could say thanks to these marvelous teachers for day and days; our custodial staff, the cafeteria ladies, and the nurses have been great. Of course, the lion's share of the credit goes to our wonderful students. They have embraced the intricacies of the MAP test and all the associated strategies that make this battery of tests such a challenge. Great job by all - you really are the best, and now it is not just my words, but the choice of the State Department of Education.

On another huge positive note, our Junior Senior Prom was an enormous success. Mrs. Thurman and the Junior class turned the high school into a incredible venture into New York Nights. Prom night will live in their memories forever, and these memories will be of a first class presentation and lots of fun.

The Project Prom held at the YMCA was also a fantastic success. Lisa Daugherty and Angela Peterson, along with a host of parents, worked diligently in gathering prizes, making food, and organizing a night of first class entertainment, not to mention a big loss of sleep (the party concluded at 5 in the morning).

As we nudge closer to the end of school, let me remind all the parents that our teachers are still actively involved in providing the best of educational opportunities. There will still be homework and papers to write. With all the different functions that take place this time of year, we sometimes forget that we still have school in session. I would encourage you to make sure your students are on time in the mornings and prepared to receive a full days instruction. Stay involved in your students education.

Go Hornets!
