My Project

Decision Day is Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, and is a nationally recognized celebration for all post-secondary decisions made by our Seniors. From 2-year or 4-year Colleges to Workforce and Military, our students are off to start a grand new adventure! We've helped to create these pathways via late-night recommendation letters, application help, and scholarship research.

With the help of our community, we can give away 10 gift baskets to 10 lucky Seniors to start this new, and exciting chapter in their lives!

It's the little things like remembering to bring pencils and helping families fund their students' new pathways with crisp bed sheets and laundry baskets so they can finally stop leaving their socks all over the place. A surge protector to plug in all the electronics for midnight essays. Staplers because when you really need one you never have them!

Help us reward our CHS Students for their transition into their next phase of life!
