High school students, are you interested in architecture, construction, or engineering then the ACE club is for you. The ACE Club is a mentoring program that introduces students to careers in Architecture, Construction Management, and Engineering. Teams are composed of students and industry mentors to emulate an actual design team. Students are also introduced to colleges with programs in these related fields. Please go the CMS ACE club page or see Mr. Bonanno for more information. Meetings will begin next week.
This year we will be having a virtual talent show for homecoming. If you would like to be in the show, you will upload your act to the FlipGrids that are linked on the High School Student Council website. There are separate flipgrids for middle school and high school acts. The time limit for acts is 5 minutes. If your act is longer than 5 minutes you can email Dr. Hines about an exception to the time limit. Due to the distance learning days, we are extending the deadline to the end of the day on Friday, January 15th.

Addison Melton led the way with 16 points while Olivia Hart added 11 and Kaitlin Polly scored 10. The win pushes the Lady Tigers record to 6-2.
