CHS Class of 2020:
On Tuesday June 2, CHS will have a “Diploma Drive Through“ Celebration. There will be two sessions: a morning session from 10am-12 noon and an afternoon session from 1pm -3pm.
The “Diploma Drive-Through” will have three stations:
1) A Laptop/Uniform/School book drop off station
2) A Diploma distribution station
3) A picture station
Graduates -- We ask that you arrive in your car wearing your cap and gown so that you are already dressed for the diploma and picture stations. Earned cords and stoles, previously not distributed, will be available to receive prior to the picture station.
Out of respect for social distancing protocols, please follow instructions from staff about specifically when to get in and out of cars.
We ask that graduates and parents come through the “drive through” in the same car.
We look forward to seeing our CHS Class of 2020 Graduates on Tuesday, June 2!
