Today is Teacher Appreciation Day! We are SO thankful for each and every one of our teachers. Their impact on our students and community deserves to be honored and recognized everyday! Don't forget to thank your teachers!
Over the last few weeks, the CMS 7th grade band students had the opportunity to work on a very unique project, and today, they got to see their work come to life! COSI, the science museum in Columbus, is hosting the COSI Science Festival from May 1 - 4, 2024. As part of the festival, in the atrium just inside the museum, is a Star Wars fan-built exhibit titled The Intergalactic Fan Expo, presented by the TSJ Foundation. The exhibit highlights robotics and STEAM education through the display of Star Wars droids, holograms, 3D printing, coding, and even a tie fighter. As part of the exhibit, we collaborated to create the “Science of Sound,” a STEAM project where our band students learned about sound, learned how their instruments create sound, and designed their own instruments with some Star Wars flair. These instruments are now on display at COSI as part of this exhibit through tomorrow! Today, our students went to Columbus to see the exhibit and their instruments on display. They also got to interact with some of the Star Wars droids. A huge shoutout and thank you to Mr. Judson Burns, our CMS band director, for facilitating this project and opportunity for our 7th grade band students. You can see our CMS & CHS bands in their final concert of the year on Tuesday, May 14th at 7PM. You might even hear some Star Wars music!
Be sure to thank your lunchroom workers today!

Ready for our final Class of 2024 Top 10 spotlight? We are excited to introduce this year's Valedictorian: Talyn Doss!
Hi! I am Talyn Doss. I serve as the Treasurer for the Class of 2024 Student Council and am a member of Key Club, BETA Club, National Honor Society, and Keys to Success. Additionally, I hold the distinction of being an AP Scholar with Distinction and a National Rural and Small Town Academic Award Winner.
I plan to attend Ohio University as a Cutler Scholar and pursue a double major in Political Science and Health Services Administration, with double minors in Communications and Economics. With these degrees, I aim to work in the medical field on a governmental or administrative level.
First and foremost, I extend my gratitude to my family and friends, who have provided me with unwavering love and support throughout my educational and personal life. I also want to express my appreciation to everyone within the Chillicothe City School District for shaping me into the person I am today and for providing me with such an amazing school and community to be a part of!

It is another great Monday for a Top 10 introduction!
Hi, I am AJ Noel. I am the salutatorian for the class of 2024. I serve as the Historian for NHS, the Treasurer for NAHS, and the orchestra representative for Tri-M. I am also the concertmaster for our High School's symphonic orchestra!
As of now, I am undecided on where I would like to attend college. Though I am still undecided, I plan on majoring in Biomedical engineering in order to become a doctor. My desire to become a doctor sparked since I recognized my father’s dedication to his work. Working in the medical field will give me the opportunity to help people by alleviating their suffering; this will be my service to humanity.
Thank you to my teachers, friends, and peers for your encouragement and support. To my parents, thank you for your discipline and for always pushing me towards my goals and a successful future. Finally, I would like to thank my three sisters; you have always been great role models and have significantly shaped me into the person I am today.

It's Friday, so we're back with another Top 10 Spotlight!
Hi! My name is Katherine McCallum, and I am a senior here at CHS. I am a member of the National Honor Society and also participate in our school's student council. Additionally, I am heavily involved in sports and extracurricular activities within our school, particularly enjoying cross country, swimming, and track. After I graduate, I plan to attend a college of my choice to pursue exploratory studies, aiming to broaden my education across various fields before determining the right career path for me. None of this would have been possible without the support of everyone in my life, so I want to extend my gratitude to all who have helped me in my endeavors. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for putting up with my shenanigans, and to my brother for teaching me them. I also want to give a big shout out to the coaches and staff who have played a significant role in shaping my life and worldview; I wouldn't be who I am today without you.
Join us this evening at The O for the Cavalier Invitational Track Meet! Cheer on our track and field team, and help support the Cavaliers by purchasing a sweet treat from the Bake Sale!
Here is our next Top 10 Spotlight: Thomas Kessler! My name is Thomas Kessler, and over the course of my high school career, I have participated in the cross country team, the swim team, the track team, as well as school organizations such as the National Honor Society. Probably my favorite memory from my high school career was the entire time I spent at cross country camp. I plan on going to school at Shawnee State University to study Nursing and continue swimming. I would like to thank my family and friends for all that they've done for me over the years, and for all of the fun times.

Happy Monday everyone! We are pleased to introduce our next Top 10 student, Alexander Graves.
Hello, I am Xander Graves. I am a member of the National Honor Society and Keys to Success. I have plans to study Physics and pursue my graduate degree in Nuclear Physics. My goal is to either work at a nuclear reactor or further research for safer and more effective means of using nuclear energy. Away from academics, I like to tinker with electronics, melt down metals, work out, and play games with my friends. I would like to thank all of my teachers whom I have had over the years. I would especially like to thank Mr. Keirns, who helped me plan my classes and made learning history interesting. I also can't forget to thank Mr. Queen, who no longer works at CHS but is the reason why I am pursuing a career in science. If either of you is reading this, thank you both, truly.
We are so excited for prom tomorrow! Here are some important locations & times for you to keep in mind!
