Teacher Appreciation Week is quickly approaching, and we are excited to celebrate the incredible CHS educators who give so much to our students each day. Our Leadership students have been working hard to gather donations, but we still need help to make this a special lunch for our teachers.
Since we do not have a PTO, we would greatly appreciate parent support in this effort. You can sign up to bring items using the SignUpGenius link provided.
Event Details: 📅 Thursday, May 7
⏰ Lunch begins at 11:00 AM
If you are bringing food, please drop items off at the main entrance by 10:30 AM labeled “Attention: Jenna Morris.” If you would prefer to contribute monetarily, you may donate online using the link or send a check to the main office made out to CHS, Attention: Jenna Morris. Your generosity helps us give back to the teachers who give so much to our students every day. We truly appreciate your support!

Some April Fools fun was had at CHS today. Mr. Pritchard informed everyone of the new Emergency Flood Drill required by the state. Since we are within 300 miles of a body of water, students had to stand on their chairs/desks to practice safety in the event of a flood. Teachers understood the assignment and documented the success of the drill. 🤗 We have way too much fun at school!
Happy April Fools!
We are so proud of our students of the month for working hard, getting smart, and being nice. Congratulations! 🎉
Today was the perfect day to celebrate our senior tennis players!
CHS Freshmen Experience students are taking a big step toward their futures!
Over the past few weeks, our freshmen have learned how to craft professional cover letters, build resumes, design business cards, and complete job applications. They’ve been practicing their interview skills, and today, they put that learning into action with their first mock interview.
A huge THANK YOU goes to our amazing teachers who volunteered their time to support our students and provide valuable feedback. Your guidance helps them grow in confidence and readiness.
We’re proud of our students for their hard work and can’t wait to see how these skills prepare them as they move toward the workforce! 👏🌟
Big congratulations to our incredible cosmetology students who just earned their Tennessee Hair Braiding Certification! 🎉✨

We had an amazing week hosting our future Blue Raiders for 8th Grade Tours! 💙 It’s always a joy to showcase the awesome things happening here at Cleveland—because like Mr. Pritchard always says, “the sky is literally the limit!” 🚀
A huge thank-you to Mr. Benton, our incredible 9th Grade Principal, for leading such a smooth and welcoming transition tour. Shoutout as well to our award-winning jazz band, our show choir, and our outstanding leadership students for helping make the experience unforgettable.
It’s ALWAYS a great day to be a Raider! 💙🙌
Raiderpalooza never disappoints! 🔥 It’s always amazing to see our clubs, teams, programs, and departments show up and show out, highlighting all the incredible opportunities we offer here at CHS. From academics to athletics to the arts, there’s truly something for everyone.
One of the best parts? Welcoming our future Raiders! ❤️ We love opening our doors to 8th graders and giving them a glimpse of all the great things waiting for them here.
