CHS students proved their smarts, bringing home 5th place in the Missouri LifeSmarts competition on Wednesday, December 4. Special recognition was given to Lexi Jordan and Elizabeth Gronski with the state’s top individual scores for Personal Finance and Consumer Right, respectively. Other team members included Caitlyn Alcorn, Taylor Freeze, and Sydney McLain.
