Recognizing our CHS community:
Our staff is continuing an initiative at CHS where we recognize students for their achievements inside and outside of school. Every month we will showcase these achievements on the hallway televisions around our school community. If you would like to bring your child's name forward because of an achievement or involvement you would like recognized, please email Ms. Taylor at staylor@rockyview.ab.ca. Please include your child's name, a picture of them involved with the specific activity (if possible, otherwise the school picture will be used), and the reason you would like them to be recognized. This can include school-appropriate efforts such as athletics, fine arts, community volunteerism, philanthropy, etc.
