Several CHS students were awarded for their skill and talent yesterday. Four of our cross country team members medaled in the meet at East Carter. In high school girls, Haylee Esser placed 2nd, Makinlee Keister placed 10th, and Ava Umfleet placed 14th. In high school boys, Charlie Robbins placed 5th.
Additionally, the yearbook staff attended J-Day yesterday, and Abby Cheney won again for her gorgeous American Flag photo. J-Day, or Journalism Day, is a yearly event that hundreds of high school students attend. The goal is to promote journalism at a high school level and give students the opportunity to enhance their skills.
Congrats to these students for their accomplishments!

The Baseball Tigers competed against Meadow Heights at Monday’s matchup at Clearwater. Jackson Otwell did a great job throwing strikes and challenging hitters. While the defense struggled a bit, there were a lot of solid corrections that kept the Tigers in the game. Both Nathaniel Patterson and Brandon Mayes were strong offensive batters which helped the Tigers have the lead for a portion of the game. Darin Garrett did a great job as relief pitcher. He battled hitters through strikes. Although ultimately Meadow Heights won the game, the Clearwater team is starting to put together better games and the drive is there to get better. Coach Sheets said, “I see the fire in their eyes that they want to improve and get better at every aspect of the game. We enjoy coming to the field each day to work, get better, and have fun.”

Earlier this month, Ms. Brinkley’s classes worked in groups to create commercials to demonstrate historical events. American History II classes made campaign commercials for Abraham Lincoln’s second election to start off their Reconstruction Era Unit. Government classes made infomercials to “sell” three clauses of the Magna Carta. The students studied the 63 clauses, picked their favorites, and shot their commercials!
