CHS football schedule is out! Coach Edwards said, “I would like to pass on a message to the community. With the upcoming season quickly approaching, I would like to see more community support. Although last year was great, I would like to surpass that and fill the stands. I want to make Wildcat Stadium a tough place for opponets to come in and compete.”

This planned times for elementary are tentative until the third or fourth week of school. The district will re-examine and/or adjust after bus routes have been stabilized. They will re-post the finalized times after that evaluation period.
