1. From the Principal's Desk
Dear Member of the Chantilly HS Community:
Happy Friday. I don’t have too much to report this week except for lots of student recognitions. I know everyone is waiting for the new principal of CHS to be announced. Please know that I have no control over this process, and, like you, I’m hoping to find out ASAP to help facilitate a smooth transition. Whether I’m still on contract or not, I will do everything I can to set my successor up for success. Stay tuned.
Scott Poole

5. 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.
