CFHS Charge Up!
September 2, 2023

A MESSAGE FROM BRIAN FORSHEE, CFHS PRINCIPAL
It is already September! Hope everyone gets to enjoy Labor Day weekend. Almost every day of the week we have some type of after school activity - club meetings, sport and fine art events, and of course, practices and tutorials. We encourage students to become involved in at least one of the many extracurricular activities/clubs we have. Our first progress report period ended Friday, so if you haven’t already, please check Skyward to review your student’s grades.
