On Wednesday, May 3 CCHS held the annual Honor Society inductions for students who have applied and been accepted into the National Honor Society, as well as the Science, Math, Social Studies, French, Latin, Spanish, Music, Art and Thespian Honor Societies. President Mary Whipkey addressed the scholars with an inspiring speech on how the failures of life will fuel their successes. "I want to give you some advice on failure. FAIL means: 'first attempt isn’t the last.' I would like to give you three things to remember: 1) failure is an opportunity- when you fail you can say how can I do that better, what can I change, change is good; 2) failure is a sign that I’m challenging myself to do something difficult, it can give you confidence; and 3) surround yourself with positive people, people who believe in you to help you overcome your failure, learn from failure, and change from failure. 'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.'" Thank you, Mrs. Whipkey for reminding our students of this key lesson. And, congratulations to all of the newly inducted honor society members! Click here for the full photo album of photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/exmABmme5auXvvSE8

The inaugural CCHS Genetics & Biotechnology class has reached their ultimate lab for the 22-23 academic year: PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction.) PCR is the most widely used technique in genetics and molecular biology. Among its many uses is the screening of mutations involved in genetic disorders. Students extracted DNA, executed PCR using a thermocycler, and then performed electrophoresis enabling them to view the PCR results. This multi-day lab is one which you will rarely find in a high school science department. Thanks to the generosity of the Mirmanesh family, who has helped to fund this course in memory of Fr. Joseph Capella, Mrs. Knowlton is leading the class through the cycles of PCR.
