CHS Homecoming Parade By Isabella Carlow

The floats looked great, and the whole parade itself was well put together and entertaining. Both teachers and students worked hard to organize this event and make it possible. From the people marching in the parade to the police officers blocking off roads, the town worked together to hold this event. Overall, the parade was a success as it brought the community closer and reminded us of the importance of having fun.

Taylor Swift Album Review Part 2 By Justin Curran

It's me, hi! As you may or may not know, Taylor Swift released her tenth studio album Midnights on Friday, October 21st.

Taylor Swift Album Review Part 1 By Keeley Sullivan

Taylor Swift’s newest album, Midnights, was released on Friday, October 21st. I’ll admit, I didn’t have the highest expectations for it. I mean, how can you beat the All Too Well 10-minute version?

Homecoming has come and gone, the leaves are changing color, and the hunt is approaching; all signs that quarter one is about to close. Yet as the school year settles in, one thing still feels out of place to me: the Monday schedule. Although I'm already a junior, I've yet to spend the entire year on one schedule, so it's not surprising that I'm finding our timetables a little confusing. But when it comes to the Monday schedule, I'm not the only one displeased.

How One CHS Student Turned a Negative Label into Positive Motivation BY BIANCA GONCALVES

For two years following that day,  I studied extra hard in and out of school. I would spend hours doing my homework regardless of how difficult it was for me. When fourth grade came around, I had gotten rid of my Individual Education Plan for good. I was no longer the “stupid little girl” I had been labeled in the early days of my education.
