On Monday, March 27, students had the opportunity to hear Kyle Quilausing's inspirational story of going from a top teen golfer, having earned 16 titles and ranking 4th in the world, and landing one of the best college scholarships to hitting rock bottom after he was expelled from high school , getting hooked on crystal-meth and going to prison. Now he visits schools, giving talks to students in the hopes that they will learn from his story and "to keep kids out of the dark hole that I fell into." He was well received by the student body. Thank you Kyle for sharing your story.

It was a day of service yesterday, Saturday, March 18, for a group of CHS students from the National Honor Society and the Leo Club, as they assisted Joe Paden, project manager for the cleanup of Union Asbury Cemetery. The NHS and Leo Club are advised by Mrs. Lindsay Tilghman and Mr. Randy Laird, respectively. The Union Asbury Cemetery is the largest African American cemetery in Crisfield encompassing 3 1/2 acres with over 700 known graves. Great job to all who came out!
