If you have been following our page, you know that our local community offers tremendous support to our schools and that our CHS Work-Based students are employed in positions all over that same community. Pictured here is another example of that relationship in action. Seniors Nick Snellgrove (left) and Tyrone Atkinson (right) have enjoyed a job placement this year with the Evans County Recreation Department where they perform a variety of duties from groundskeeping to game preparation. It was not that many years ago that they were the little boys for whom they prepared this field! Little boys no more, they have plans for the future. After graduation Nick plans to attend college and obtain a business degree with the end goal of working in the Real Estate industry. Tyrone plans to attend college and obtain a degree in either Kinesiology or Engineering. He also plans to play college football. CHS is standing proudly behind you all the way, Nick and Tyrone! #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess #TigerPride #TheDEN

This lovely CHS senior recently showed us her workspace at Kyle Durrence Chevrolet, Buick & GMC. Over this past year, Laney Massey has grown in her role at the dealership, and she has developed a professional bond with her team there. She says she realizes what an important role a “work family” can play in a person’s life, and she plans to remain in her position as she enters the next phase of her life. Laney will be among the first students to enroll in one of OTC’s newest programs- the Associate of Science in Nursing. We are confident that her studies in her health science pathway at CHS, combined with her experience in her Work-Based Learning placement at Kyle Durrence Chevrolet have prepared her to meet her future goals! We're so proud of you, Laney! #BlackAndGoldBuildingSuccess #TheDEN #TigerPride
