Mrs. Dundon has been subbing with us since 2013!! Sharon only substitutes here at the high school where we have come to depend on her. She is trustworthy and always flexible when they need a last-minute sub. Not only is Sharon requested by teachers to sub, but she has also earned the respect of the students. Thank you, Sharon, for all your years of service with CISD and congratulations on being our Substitute of the Month!

The staff at CHS can play with the best of them. This week the staff had a Secret Spirit Week to see how the observant our students were to the different things happening every day. Our students started to catch on by Wednesday! We got a lot of questions about why we were dressing up and they started looking forward to what the new day would bring! Having a staff that is willing to have a little fun is one of the best thing about CHS! It is the perfect way to end the week before Spring break!
