Saturday was an incredible day of Trojan Athletics!
At the Cross Country Regional Meet, our girls' team placed 2nd and advanced to Sectionals. The team was led by Megan Garrett with a 4th place overall finish and Grace Spoonhour with a 11th place finish! On the boys' side, Luca Carcasi qualified for sectionals as well, with an 18th place finish.
At the Girls' Swim Sectional, Charleston placed 3rd overall as a team! Angie Coe won all four of her events, and set pool records in each of them! Ava Zheng, Molly Weber, and Delaney Goddard also scored in events contributing to the team success. We had personal best times in 9 of 15 swims and season best swims in 14 of 15 swims.
Great job everyone!
It's a great week in Trojan Athletics!

Over the next couple weeks Charleston High School will be posting videos going over the specifics of the CHS reopening plan for students returning to in-person instruction and students remaining in remote learning. The plan can be found in its entirety on our website.
Transportation: Students and their families are encouraged to provide their own transportation if possible. Students who ride the bus will report to door #5 for their health screening. Students that are driving themselves to school will also utilize door #23. (Door #23 is located on the north side of the building between the cafeteria and the media center.) Students that are being dropped off will report to door #5 for their health screening. (Door #5 is located at the Baker gym entrance on the south side of the building.)
Arrival:
Doors will not open until 7:50.
Tutorial begins at 8:20
Class begins at 8:40
As students line up for health screening social distancing guidelines should be maintained. After a student’s health screening has been completed, a student will report directly to their tutorial class (even if it is before 8:20) unless they are eating breakfast then they will report directly to the cafeteria. Students that are eating breakfast will report directly to their tutorial period after they have finished breakfast.
Tutorial class is determined by a student’s first class of the day. For example
Scarlet Day=1st-period teacher
Gold Day= 2nd-period teacher

Today is day number two of SAT testing here at CHS. Students that are not testing should utilize today to connect with teachers and work to complete any missing assignments. Students are encouraged to reach out to their teachers with any questions. As a reminder CHS does not schedule parent-teacher conferences specifically on October 15th and 16th, but rather throughout the year on an as needed basis.
Just a reminder all seniors need to report to CHS tomorrow morning, Wednesday, October 14 at 8:25 for SAT testing. Please contact Beth Nelson or Allison Meeker with any questions at 217-639-5020.
This week the CHS Media Center will only be open on Mon 10/12 and Tues 10/13 because of testing later this week and no classes on Friday. Any student who needs a textbook or who wants to check out any books needs to do so by Tuesday afternoon.
From CHS Guidance Department: Reminder- All seniors should report to CHS on Wednesday, October 14 at 8:25 a.m. for SAT testing. This is a graduation requirement per the state of Illinois.

Charleston High School is proud of the above students and the work they have done to become strong students and well-rounded individuals. They have proven themselves, both in the school and in the community, to be excellent examples of character, leadership, service, and scholarship. There will be a formal induction in the spring. Once again, congratulations.
The CHS Media is now open on Tuesdays and Thursday from 2pm until 3pm for checkouts! Students need to enter at the main office for a wellness screening before coming down to the library. Look through the photos at a few of the new books. Mrs. Runyon hopes to see you soon.

Tonight's tennis match at home vs Robinson has been cancelled. We will try to schedule a make up date soon.
CHS Students and Families,
We were made aware on Friday that there were negative things being said about CHS students on a social media platform. We quickly began working on this issue when notified. We have reported the account/posts to the platform. We have shared the information with the Charleston Police Department. We are continually working on this matter. We have higher expectations for our students than what was demonstrated here. We expect our students to conduct themselves appropriately at all times both in-person and online. The type of behavior exhibited through these recent posts is completely unacceptable. We expect more from our students.

Tonight's Girls Golf Match vs St. Thomas More at the Charleston Country Club has been cancelled.
