We have a fundraising goal of $35,000 this fall.

Homecoming Week

All week, starting October 1 to October 4, we will be participating in Grade Games; these are events that we have during the school year to see which grade is the most school-spirited. One of the ways your grade can get points is by submitting your photos to the stucco Instagram from any sporting event and stating your grade. 2 points for a photo, 5 points if you are dressed to theme, 10 points if you get a pic with a teacher.  The grade winner of the games will be announced at ½ time at the HoCo game.

Homecoming royalty nominations are starting! Look for QR codes around the school and on the StuCo Instagram @ centaurus_stuco to fill out the Google form to nominate your CHS court and royalty.
