Homecoming Spirit Week

It's finally that time of year cougars, our Homecoming spirit week is next week! 

Monday we have Adam Sandler and Billie Eilish day. Style yourself in your comfiest and baggiest clothes to mimic the iconic style of Adam and Billie. 

Next, we have a Walking Playlist Tuesday. Dress up in your favorite music style and bring your playlist to life through the halls!

Wednesday is Dress Up for the Wrong Occasion. Bring your most random and off topic choice for school, but make sure it is school appropriate!

Thursday we have Greece vs Grease. Pick between a white and gold combo or rock out in leather clothing or pink jackets!

Friday, we have Pop Out in Pink. Dress up in your pinkest attire to raise awareness for breast cancer and support your CKHS football team for the homecoming football game later that evening.

Alternatively, students can dress up in their class colors for any of the spirit days!
Freshmen wear grey
Sophomores wear orange
Juniors wear white
And seniors wear black

Cougars, make sure to dress up and show out! The class with the most participation will win the Ultimate Cougar Krazy spirit belt at our homecoming pep assembly. If you have any questions, feel free to contact any ASB member or check out our CKHS instagram for more details. We are so excited to see what you all come up with!

Bus Entrance Construction Update

Huge thanks to our grounds and facilities teams for their quick response to a broken pipe connected to our stadium restrooms! While this construction project certainly wasn’t planned, our transportation team quickly adjusted bus arrival and drop-off plans so repairs could begin immediately. We expect to have full use of the affected area and return to our normal bus drop-off procedures early next week. Thank you to our entire community for your flexibility and patience as we worked through this unexpected disruption!
