HOMECOMING 2012
A Winter Wonderland
Every year our freshmen plan a night during which alumni will return to meet up with old high-school friends and teachers. This homecoming night is when our high-school basketball teams play their games at the big OCC gymnasium. We also announce our homecoming court, which differs greatly from those at public schools. At our school, we choose our court by characteristics. Lauden Baker was chosen for the trait of “integrity” by his senior classmates, along with Kristen Crumpacker, who was chosen for “love”. As for the juniors, William Conroy and Annie White were honored for their nature of “faithfulness”. Josh Woodmansee and Lydia Buford walked together, representing ” kindness” for their sophomore class. The freshmen elected lifetime student Caitlin Good and Hunter Jones, a new student this year, to demonstrate the attribute of “ gentleness”. The homecoming games were a tough ones versus Verona High School. While the first half of the girls game was very rough, our girls stepped it up in the third quarter but it wasn’t enough to save the game and bring in a win. The boys, who played directly following the girls, lost also. Kirsty Green and Jasmine Johnson played in their last high school homecoming, as they are both seniors. Joseph Sherwood, Caleb Stratton, and Dagen Worthington all played their final high school homecoming game as well.
Welcome Alumni
CHCS Alumni were treated to a special reception during the January 4th Homecoming games. A large number of former CHCS students attended the event, enjoying reconnecting with old friends, cheering on the basketball team, and recalling past experiences. Alumni were treated to a fantastic buffet set up in a reserved spot just for them. We are blessed to have so many alumni return to support our school!
“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” –Jeremiah 17:7-8
