These results are a reflection of our students’ hard work, teamwork, and commitment to excellence. A big thank-you to our band instructors, James Cookinham and Hannah Mountz, for their leadership and dedication to our students.
And to our families and community - thank you for supporting our band program. Your encouragement truly helps our students shine!

CHS History Club and Art Club teamed up for a cross-curricular field trip to the Renaissance Festival on October 10, and our students had a great time learning outside the classroom!
We’re also really proud to share that 32 of our 34 students earned FREE admission through the Scholars Program thanks to their amazing GPAs. Way to go! You’ve worked hard, and it shows!
Trips like this connect right back to our CSIP goals by supporting:
Student Success & Learning through hands-on, real-world experiences
Strong Culture & Communication as we celebrate accomplishments and build school pride
Congrats to our students, and thank you to everyone who helped make the day happen!


These two have brought energy, leadership, and Hornet pride to every game day, and we hope our community will come out and show them just how much they’re appreciated.
Join us tonight as they cheer on our Hornets at the home game vs. Moberly - let’s pack the stands and make it a night to remember!

Sophie Hurtgen-When a student accidently dropped a container of sharpies on the ground - sophie sprang into action to quickly help her clean them up.
Dewayene Yount- Dewayene helped a student get his stuff to class because he was running late. The student told him he could get his own bag, but Dewayene insisted and helped him to class, and a fellow senior student was struggling to fill out their order form from Jostens. He jumped right in and started helping him so he could have it completed by the deadline.
If you see them, feel free to congratulate them on showing high character.
Hornets on Top!


It’s Senior Night at the CHS home football game! Tonight, as we take on Moberly, we’re excited to recognize our CHS Senior Band members and the energy they bring to Friday nights. We're talking about you - Mason Eckert, Danika Harkins, Kaetlin Jenkins, Makaila Kennedy, Ava Lance, Izabella Leverett, Carlee Regan, and Kierra Williams!
Kickoff is at 7:00 PM—come out, fill the stands, and help us celebrate these seniors. Let’s show them how much our community appreciates their dedication and school spirit.
Because it’s simple: it’s not a football game without the band.
See you tonight!

If you see them, please feel free to congratulate them for representing CHS in such a high manner.
Hornets on Top!


Mrs. Wheeler and Mr. Constant’s U.S. History classes wrapped up their Roaring Twenties unit today with a “speakeasy” celebration… that was promptly busted up by Officer Hogan. Unfortunately for us, Officer Hogan does not accept bribes, and our carbonated contraband was officially confiscated! It was a fun, memorable way to reinforce learning and keep students engaged.
We also want to celebrate the incredible partnership between our students and community organizations. Xi Alpha Kappa (Chillicothe chapter) member Julie Barnes stopped by with muffins to thank our CHS Key Club students for volunteering to paint faces at Chautauqua. Julie shared how the face painting supports charity programs - and we’re proud to see our students using their time and talents to make a difference.
These moments reflect what we’re working toward every day in Chillicothe Schools:
Student Success & Learning through engaging, meaningful experiences
Strong Culture & Communication through positive connections and celebration
Staff Engagement that makes learning fun and impactful
Safety & Security thanks to supportive community partners like Officer Hogan
Building a Brighter Future for our children and our community - together.






We were also proud to have members of the CHS Choraliers in attendance! They did a wonderful job performing the National Anthem!
Students took part in a business meeting and heard from motivational speakers Kyler Erickson and Nick Rucker, who shared powerful messages about mental health and overcoming obstacles.
A big congratulations to our chapters on some exciting recognition:
CMS FCCLA earned the Best Chapter Banner Award and the Shooting Star Award, recognizing them as a new chapter laying strong groundwork so members can take full advantage of all FCCLA opportunities.
The CHS GRTS FCCLA Chapter received the Leadership Legacy Award for producing multiple state presidents, 1st vice presidents, and one national officer, along with earning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes at the state level in multiple national programs.
We are so proud of our students and sponsors for representing Chillicothe so well and continuing to build leadership for the future!




Chillicothe VS Marryville
JV and C at 5pm
Varsity follows at 6pm.
