From the Principal's Desk
Dear Members of the CHS Community:
Here's the news around Chantilly! Have a great weekend!

CHANTILLY PYRAMID MENTAL HEALTH GOOGLE SITE
Mental health continues to be a “hot button” topic across the country. School counselors are excited to share our mental health resource site for our Chantilly community. As elementary, middle, and high school counselors continue to work with families in each school, we feel it is necessary to share similar information and resources with everyone in grades K through 12. The Chantilly Pyramid’s comprehensive Google site link can be found here https://sites.google.com/view/chantillycounselorsresources/home. Feel free to access the site on your own. If you have specific questions or needs, contact your child’s school counselor directly.
Recognitions
Congratulations to Lindsay Jones and Daniel Zhao who were named winners of the 2019 National Merit Corporate-Sponsored Scholarship for CACI Scholarships
Congratulations to our Governor's Challenge in Economics team that placed 3rd in the state at the competition in Richmond. Kyle McClelland, Zach Petty, Ryan Swindell and Max Tabarrok answered questions involving macroeconomics, microeconomics and international trade as well as econ current events. They did really well and we are very proud of them!
Recent Student Successes
This is the next installment for the school year of what has become a weekly segment aimed at recognizing students for demonstrating recent improvement or achievement in academics, behavior or citizenship. At the end of each recognition, you will see the name of the nominating teacher or staff member. On a rotating basis, departments will nominate students. I meet with recognized students each week to congratulate them in person.
