A heartfelt THANK YOU to those families and students who joined us at Open House last Thursday evening. It was a special night showcasing our beloved school and programs. It would not have been possible without the warm welcome of our incredible administration, staff, coaches, choir, and leadership students who made sure our newest Class of 2027 Cougars found their way around campus. We look forward to welcoming our new students in August. If you have friends with incoming students please be sure to encourage them to sign up for the CPC newsletter. --Wendy Reicher, CPC Co-President | |
