It was a celebration of excellence this past week as we celebrated our annual Top 25 Ceremony. This celebration honors academics at CHS, by celebrating those 12th grade students who earned the highest weighted GPA's. This year, there were so many students in the upper weighted grade point averages that 25 was expanded to 40. You can see the TOP 25 Presentation HERE.

Spring athletics competition will officially begin this Monday. You can see the full schedule in the newsletter. As a reminder, spectators and athletes should adhere to MCPS R.A.I.S.E standards of sportsmanship. That is the Clarksburg Way.
