Congratulations to the Central High Concert Choir! On March 22, they went to the District IV Choral Festival and earned a Superior score of "1" in their concert performance assessment as well as an Excellent score of "2" in their sightreading assessment.

Juniors Rachel Crowell and Allie DeLaney (shown at left) represented CHS at the 35th annual DEMCO Essay Contest held Tuesday evening at White Oak Plantation. Over 330 essays were submitted by juniors from the DEMCO service area; Rachel and Allie were among the 12 semi-finalists chosen to present their essays, but only four winners were chosen to travel to Washington DC this summer. Her presentation on cyberbullying earned Rachel Crowell one of the four spots, and gives her the opportunity to represent our area as part of that Louisiana delegation. Congratulations to Rachel and Allie! |
