The annual Clearwater Invitational Speech Tournament will be held on Thursday, November 7. The tournament will begin at 4:00 and end with awards at approximately 7:00 pm. Speech competitors are not allowed to participate at the tournaments hosted by their own school, therefore Clearwater students will not be performing, but there are several area schools that will be participating in entertaining competition including duet acting, humorous interpretation, and storytelling among others.

Although summer seems distant, high school students should already be researching and applying for career related summer opportunities!

This summer, Caitlyn has been accepted to a healthcare camp where she will be shadowing healthcare professionals, learning CPR, using a stethoscope, taking blood pressures, and visiting various clinical sites and doing it all at no cost! Based on an essay she submitted, Caitlyn was selected as a scholarship recipient to cover the expenses of the camp.

Students interested in summer activities such as this are invited to visit the CHS guidance office or the CHS Library to research opportunities. Don’t wait!

JUNIORS AND SENIORS: Prom information packets are available in Mr. McFadden’s room. Completed packets are required before you can receive your ticket. Packets are due back no later than Friday, April 5.
