Dear Lance Families –
This past week we celebrated Classified Appreciation week. I am so thankful for our staff and all they do for and around Churchill High School. Without them, so much of what makes Churchill, Churchill, would not happen, and we would not run as smoothly. Thank you Classified staff for everything!!
This upcoming week marks the last week of Trimester 2. We are two thirds of the way through the year, and before you know it, June, graduation, and the end of the school year will be rolling around. Please encourage your students to check in with their teacher about missing assignments and finals that are due this week. Also, if you student needs to adjust their Trimester 3 classes, please have them fill out the “Trimester 3 schedule request change form” in the Counseling Center. (There are QR codes and the web link around school and on every counselors door.)
I hope you have a restful weekend. Go Lancers!
Missy Cole
Principal, Churchill High School

To help prevent the screen from breaking follow these tips:
Bonus tip: Keep the laptop away from magnets! A magnet can erase data from a computer’s hard drive.
