Viking Community, here’s a look at the week ahead! 💙💛
We’ve got a busy one filled with events both at home and away, which means we have plenty of opportunities to get out and support our Vikings! Whether it’s on the court, the course, or the field, we hope to see our Viking community showing up and cheering on all of our student-athletes!
And this week is an exciting one because we have our official home openers on both Thursday for Middle School football and volleyball, and Friday for High School football! 🎉🏈 So come out early, put that tailgate down, bring some snacks, and enjoy a little extra time with friends, family, and fellow Vikings before the action gets started.
There’s nothing quite like a busy week at Central Heights. The lights are on, the stands start filling up, our students are competing, and our community comes together to support them.
We can’t wait to see you out there! Let’s make it a great week to be a Viking! 💙💛

📸 Picture Day is MONDAY! 📸
All students will have their school pictures taken, AND all fall athletes will be getting their sports pictures, too! Help us make picture day run as smoothly as possible by making sure your Viking has everything they need and is ready to smile (or be super serious and intimidating)! 😁📷. And remember, school dress code applies on picture day, too. :)
Then, plan to join us on Friday evening for our Home Football JAMBOREE opener! There are going to be food trucks, football teams, and a whole lot of VIKING SPIRIT! After that, you can catch more Vikings in action at the Volleyball tournament on Saturday at Uniontown! 🏐🏈

Central Heights has entered T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights competition for a chance to win a $1 MILLION home-field makeover! 🤯🏈💙💛
Imagine what that could mean for our athletes, our students, our families, and our entire community. Imagine walking into our home stadium and seeing what happens when a small-town community decides to DREAM BIG.

School pictures and fall sports pictures will take place next Monday, August 24th!
Happy first day of college classes to our amazing group of over 50 Vikings who are enrolled in college credits this semester, from four different area colleges, totaling over 300 credit hours this fall. Thanks to all of those who support these students (teachers, drivers, family, etc) as they work toward another successful semester!
Picture Day is next week. Here is the preorder form for Elementary.
🗓️ We can't wait to spend our first full week together at school! Here's a look at what's to come:
As always, if you have any questions about practice times, please reach out to your child's head coach. With the excessive heat that Kansas has decided to unleash🥵, practice times could change. Also, in order for students to participate in practice, they MUST have a current physical on file.
See you soon, Vikings!

Get ready for Picture Day! School and fall sports photos will take place on Monday, August 24th.
Central Heights is looking for a person interested in helping transport some students to off site classes. These are high school age students who take classes in other towns during school hours. Some additional driving is available too if interested. Please reach out to Vincent Lickteig in the Transportation Department for more information.
One more sleep until we start a new year! Check out the HS Counseling Newsletter for a preview of what the first nine weeks will look like from the counseling office!
Ever dreamed of stomping through the halls, firing up the crowd, and bringing the Viking spirit to life? Well… your moment has arrived! ⚔️🔥. See the attachment for details!
