CCHS: Students Lucas Chappell, Derek Lattin, Zander Lewis, Alex Sorensen, Annaliese Sorensen, Caleb West, and Dallin West were admitted into the 2025 American Choral Director Association (ACDA) All-State Choir on January 21. CCHS music director Melissa Weick-Juceam took 12 students to auditions in Carson City. To audition, students must first be accepted into Honor Choir. “It is a pretty challenging audition with a prepared choral piece and solo piece in addition to sight-reading both rhythms and songs individually,” Weick-Juceam said. Students from all over the state auditioned, making this a well-deserved accomplishment for these seven CCHS students.

CCMS: On January 22, students and staff gathered in the school gym for a special assembly to recognize achievements and showcase the CCHS JROTC program. Principal Victor Schoenfeldt kicked off the assembly by recognizing three outstanding readers: Dominic Whiteman who read over 51 books, Christian Wright with over 46 books, and Gael Martinez Juarez with over 41 books.
Additionally, 49 students and two teachers, Kamilla Horn and Cheryl Daniel, were recognized for perfect attendance for the school year. Students with perfect attendance will receive reward time during fifth block on Monday, January 27. “During this time students will get to participate in tech time, play games, enjoy some food, and have a chance to win raffle prizes,” Schoenfeldt said.
To conclude the assembly, the CCHS JROTC program did a presentation for students giving them a little glimpse into what the program has to offer. Bringing them in for CCMS students is something Schoenfeldt has wanted to do all year and felt strongly about. “Since the creation of ROTC in 1916, students in our country have provided their time and dedication to this wonderful program,” he said. “At CCMS, we strive to build strong relationships between the Middle School and High School and this assembly allowed our students to witness one of the many great things the High School has to offer. We want to thank the JROTC program for their stellar presentation,” Schoenfeldt said. Plans are already in motion for the CCHS JROTC program to return to CCMS later this semester for a presentation just for eighth-grade students. See main picture above.
Numa: Students in Colleen Tutty’s class learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. During this lesson, students reflected on King’s vision of equality and justice, and then had the opportunity to share their dreams for a better community and world for us to live in. This activity, pictured left, was a good history lesson for students and also allowed them to think about things they can do to make a difference. If there was one thing King made clear to the students, it was that one person truly can make a huge impact on the world around them.
E.C. Best: After completing a week of Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) testing, Rosa Sanchez’s class, pictured right, celebrated with a well-deserved game of heads-up, 7-up. This game is a classroom classic that many students had never played before making it a fun way for them to relax, have fun, and unwind.
Lahontan: Elizabeth Greenwell’s class completed their informative writing unit by focusing on polar animals. Students used their Chromebooks to research facts about their animals. Then they were introduced to Google Docs, where they created a new document, typed up their findings, and learned how to insert an image of their animal. To wrap up this project, students presented their reports to the class, sharing the knowledge they had learned about their assigned polar animal.
