Here’s a link to the 2013-2014 Academic year calendar.

Chillicothe High School has fielded some impressive softball teams in the past, however none match the impressive accomplishments of this year’s Chillicothe High School Softball Cavaliers. While compiling the most wins in a single season in program history, the team posted the 3rd best team grade point average in the state of Ohio. The administration and teachers are quite proud of the accomplishments of our student athletes.  Go Lady Cavaliers!

Please remember that the CHS/CMS Orchestra is holding a Chick Fil A fundraiser on Monday, May 13th from 4:45 – 6:45 p.m. Cost for each meal is $5 and includes a sandwich, chips, and a beverage.  Eat your dinner in the cafeteria and stay for the Spring Pops Concert that begins at 7 p.m.

Under the direction of CHS Student Council President Reese Winfield, students from across CHS’ diverse student population offered their thanks and showed their appreciation for the CHS staff, teachers, and administration.  An individually written thank you note was given to each member of the CHS team as each was called forward and recognized by a student. A string ensemble performed “A Wonderful World” and Brooke Adkins performed “Colors of the Wind” as part of the festivities. On behalf of the parents of the district, Mrs. Wissler recognized Mr. Saxton for his passion and leadership of the district.   A luncheon followed the appreciation assembly which was planned behind the backs of all teachers and administration at the high school.  Thanks to Mr. Jon Saxton for working with the CHS Student Council and students to organize and plan this special assembly!  Check out our photos.
