Clarksburg High School Students, Staff, and Families,

What a week! Over the last few days many students have performed magnificently in athletics, within class learning and activities, in school events, and in the community. Check out the link here to see our choir at the World Cultural Festival in Washington DC this past Friday. Don't forget to register for the Girl's Summit coming up at CHS. Click here to register. Please be sure to check student attendance, as that can be a marker for success or disappointment. Sports teams will be in action this week so make plans to come out and see them. Hispanic Heritage Month continues this week and our calendar has many activities to celebrate. Reminder to check grades online via ParentVUE and StudentVUE.
