Chandler High Wolf Bytes

The Chandler Wolves defeated the Hamilton Huskies 49-7 Friday night to once again win the Battle for Arizona Ave as part of Rivalry Week. In addition, Jake De La Torre received the Rival’s Scholar Athlete Award, and DeCarlos Brooks was named the Great American Rivalry Series MVP. Congratulations, Wolves!

Fox 10’s Cory McCloskey was live from our courtyard last Friday to kick off the Battle for Arizona Ave football game against Hamilton. The pep rally included band and cheer performances, shout outs to athletes and performers competing at State, chants, a StuCo game, and awesome emceeing from CHS’s own Mr. Sasha Hunter. Blue Bell Creameries also announced free ice cream for all students and staff in honor of Ms. Amy Komitzky, AZ Top 10 Teacher of the Year. It’s great to be a Wolf!

Mr. JJ Chandler, CHS Assistant Principal, was honored by the CUSD Board for heroic efforts involving a student crisis situation off campus. He is pictured with Chandler Fire representatives Jessica Westmiller and Scott Jaeger.
