Take a look at the newly re-done gym floor at CDHS! It’s been about 20 years since the floor was last done and this was some much needed general maintenance. The best part is that the new court design was created by CDHS Art students in partnership with the Physical Education Department, and middle and high school students got to vote between two design options. What do you think?

Today was the final day in a long and wonderful career for Mrs. Cathie Petronio, our CDHS Secretary. She faithfully served the students and faculty in so many ways, never thinking of herself first, always doing what was right and needed to be done. It was a pleasure working w/her
