Clarksburg High School

Clarksburg High School Students, Staff, and Families,

We are in the final days of 2021 and I want to commend our staff, students, and families for their patience and resilience in dealing with a myriad of events. From staffing shortages, cancellation of sports/activities, technology issues, Tik Tok online threats, or COVID sickness, its been a roller coaster ride. And by the way, that's just the past week! We will get through this. I have so much gratitude for our Clarksburg community who have stepped up in so many ways, too numerous to name. Please know you are appreciated. That spirit of Clarksburg, emphasizing that Be Good, Do Good mantra carries us through it all with purpose and direction. Thank you.

This week is a shortened one, with classes Monday through Wednesday. All MCPS schools and offices will be closed Thursday, December 23 to begin the Winter Break and Holiday. Schools will reopen on January 3, 2022.

Thank you to the families that came to our first COVID Vaccination Clinic at Clarksburg this Saturday. 181 people were seen and able to get free vaccinations against COVID. The Clinic will return to Clarksburg on January 8, 2022. Please see the newsletter to learn about other action we are taking to address the spread in COVID at CHS.

Our Winter Choral Concert unfortunately has to be postponed and we have had to modify the calendar of a few teams for the Winter Sports Season. Check out the events listed and come out to support our Coyotes!

Please be sure to check out the schedule of college and university visits as well as the many scholarships that are available to our students. See the College and Career section of our newsletter and reach out to Ms. Somerville our coordinator with questions.

In this newsletter you will find information about the December SMOB Minute, MCPS systemwide messages, CHS Media Center News, supporting CHStage, Winter Sports, Clothing Recycling, college and university visits to CHS, and more.

As always, thank you for your continued support and trust. We will get through this. Happy Holidays and see you in the new year. And remember, together we are Clarksburg!
