Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
Check out ALL the latest information for our Graduating Seniors & Families of Graduates:
GRADUATION PRACTICE:
We will host a senior breakfast on Friday, May 30 at 9:00 am at CHS. This will only be for our graduating seniors and will serve as a time for them to celebrate together and also complete their “check-in” procedures prior to graduation practice.
Following breakfast, we will travel to Cassell Coliseum for graduation practice. We hope to arrive no later than 10:45 am and return at approximately 1:30 pm. This is a reminder that all graduating seniors must ride the buses to Cassell Coliseum.
As a reminder, our ceremony will be held at Virginia Tech’s Cassell Coliseum at 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, May 30. Students should arrive no later than 10:45 am.
