🛼💛 Mrs. Wettstein and her skaters were on a roll today! Lots of laughs, a few wobbles, and a wheel-y good time skating together! 🤩💕

You will NOT want to miss the high school play! We can't wait to see you there!

Earlier this week, the CHHS chapter of National Honor Society not only grew significantly in number, but also in character, leadership, service and scholarship! Congratulations to our newest members who were inducted on Monday. One of the messages conveyed at the induction ceremony was to use their talents and strengths to inspire their peers toward greater service to others - and thanks to the senior members who had already laid the foundation, this group will put that to the test and hit the ground running with their fall service project which will be taking place over the next month!

Third meet in four days? Sounds good to us. Bring on the Vikings! 😤

Central Heights Juniors traveled to the annual FRCO Career Day event at Ottawa High School today, spending time in sessions focused on civic engagement, college, and career opportunities available in Franklin County - framed perfectly by a motivational speaker, Justin Pickens, who helped students gain perspective on how to approach a life in service to others.

They're on the road again. Bring on the Vikings. 😤

Pre-K skating. Let’s goooo!!

Last week was National School Psychology Appreciation Week, and we don't want to let the opportunity pass without celebrating our very own K-12 School Psychologist, Amanda Kueser! 💙💛

Amanda plays such an important role in supporting our students, staff, and families across the district. From helping students navigate challenges to providing guidance, encouragement, and support, the work she does makes a difference in so many lives. She even has encouraging posters right outside of her office pictured here!

We are grateful for the care, compassion, and dedication she brings to Central Heights each and every day. Thank you, Amanda, for all that you do for our Vikings! We are lucky to have you on our team!

Help us show Amanda some Viking appreciation! 💙💛
