It was perfectly ok to conduct extracurriculars all summer through today, but now must arbitrarily stop? We must allow kids all opportunities to the fullest extent we safely can. These kids have been responsible and safe— they deserve to keep going like the entire rest of state!

Of all activities that have been operating all summer through today (hundreds of kids), we have had 2 Covid cases. When the cases happened, those activities were shut down for contact tracing, and no one else tested positive. Our kids deserve to keep going like the rest of state!

This year spread kindness throughout our whole school. If you see somebody that you think needs a friend, have the courage to take that step and go say hi to them. Invite someone to sit by you at lunch if you think they’re alone. Smile at someone and call them by name.

CHS admin team will be meeting this week to take a serious look at everything we do. What needs to change? How do we get better? How do we eliminate suspensions? How do we use even more curriculum that represents diversity? How do we truly achieve ZERO racism? Yes we can!

Mike and Bolts— City High has been so incredibly impressed with the class and thoughtfulness of your high school. From supporting Skyler Moss this summer, to volleyball tonight, and more you guys have been very kind. We are grateful and impressed.
Not much more powerful than watching Liberty Volleyball present a single rose to City High Volleyball acknowledging the memory of Emma Nugent.

It is oversimplification to say if we can’t do in person school how can we do activities. Quality classes can be conducted online. Not so for many extracurriculars. Most activities (including show choir!) can happen outside. Outside + masks has equaled safety so far.

Coach Moore should be the unanimous 5A Coach of the Year. The job he and his staff and our kids did in less than one year’s time has been truly spectacular. No one outside the team would have believed they could go to the Dome. Coach believed, and the team was all in.
