Message From The President |

Dear Parents,
We’re making the days count at CRHS and not just counting them down. I am so grateful to be able to end this year with our students in the building. It has not been without its challenges but nevertheless we are here.
I want to also take the opportunity to thank all of you who attended or purchased items at our Raider Rev Up on May 1st. It was a great evening. Special thanks goes out to the Special Events Committee and special thanks to Mike & Emily Webb, Missy Roberts, and Rebecca Byrnes for sharing their talents during set up!!
Our Spring Concert was held on Wednesday. Even though the audience was limited due to COVID we still had over 400 viewers of our live-streamed event. We definitely have some talented students. Thank you to Ms. Leyba and Mrs. Summers for inspiring them.
Big thanks also to the parents who took time off today to help our Biology teachers with our annual zoo trip. It was a great day!
I am equally thankful to be able to join our Juniors and Seniors at Prom this evening. What a difference a year makes.
Parents, I am asking that you help us at the end of this year to get some feedback as it pertains to the climate of the school. The survey link here: Climate of the School Survey
and on our website will help us evaluate our overall performance. Please take a few minutes to complete this so we may better serve our families.
Thank you for your help.
God Bless,
Mrs. Hoy
