Congratulations to the winners, Zakobi Rawls and Elijah Jones, of the volcano project in Ms. Schwartz’s Earth Science class. Students had to create models of the volcano of their choice and replicate them to look like the picture they chose. Teachers then voted on the best overall and most similar to the picture. All volcanoes were great and the students had a great time making them!



Dr. Jerry Beguelin was honored at the last regular season home Orphan game tonight. Dr. Beguelin has served the athletes of CHS since the 1980's, as team doctor. He was escorted to the floor by his daughter, Maria, and senior player Jeh'Chys. A plaque was presented to him, on behalf of CHS, by Superintendent, Chuck Lane.


Centralia FFA Member Ali Shook was recently awarded her FFA jacket through the Culver’s Blue Jacket Program. As part of the National FFA partnership, Culver’s, in combination with the Culver’s Thank You Farmers Project and the local Culver’s franchise, provides local FFA chapters with one free jacket. Ali Shook has been a dedicated member of the Centralia FFA program for three years and is very deserving of receiving her jacket for free. Thank you to Kevin DeBolt of the Mt. Vernon Culvers for nominating the Centralia FFA program. Pictured is Ali Shook and Kevin DeBolt.


Good Luck, Orphans!


Thanks for always cheering on CHS!


Thanks for all the "pep" you give the fans at the games!
