Hello, Churchill families and students;
What a fun Homecoming week! So many students and staff dressed up each day for Spirit Week, and the Homecoming Assembly on Friday was amazing! Thank you to the Leadership students for putting on a great assembly, and to Mr. Mudd and our band, they sounded wonderful! The game on Friday night against Crater was such a nail-biter; what a win in overtime!! Congratulation to Coach Miller and our football team – what a great game and a perfect way to end Homecoming week! Now all we need to do is dance the night away at school on Saturday.
Such amazing memories were made this week, and I am so glad that I get to be a part of this great community were high school students get to laugh, smile, make memories, and enjoy their days at Churchill. I love this time of year!
Have a great weekend!
Missy Cole
Principal, Churchill High School

School and Community Announcements
Homecoming at CHS!
Saturday night from 7:30 PM- 10 PM CHS will be hosting Homecoming at school in the Cafeteria and in the Courtyard. There will be dancing, food trucks and lots of great music to dance the night away to. Students need to bring their student ID to show at the door and if you are bring a guest, they too will need ID and should enter the dance with the CHS student who is bringing them. It will be a great night!
Open House/Lancer Night!!
This Thursday, October 27th, we will be holding our Open House/Lancer Night at school from 6 PM – 7:30 PM. Our format will be a little different this year. Instead of wandering your student’s schedule, you and your student will be able to choose your own adventure and meet all the staff at CHS, learn more about our CTE Pathways, get some of your AP/College Now/IB questions answered (what’s the difference?), and also hear about the amazing opportunities we have in our College and Career Center.
As with any Open House, come when you can, meet your student’s teachers, learn a little more about Churchill as a whole, and if you need to talk more in-depth with one of your student’s teachers, make an appointment with them for a later date. There will be light refreshments and a loose “program” for those that want to learn a little more about certain things. (See below) Teachers will be in the Gym ready to meet to you, share with you what their departments have to offer, as well as information about our great CTE Pathways. Come join us for a great night at CHS!

The Oregon Promise Application is now open. The Oregon Promise is funding from the State of Oregon that helps students pay tuition at any Oregon Community College.

We recommend that students fill out the Oregon Promise application even if going to a community college is not their first choice. We don’t want you to miss deadlines!
