Congrats to Mr. Joshua Yaple, the 2022 CDHS Teacher of the Year! Mr. Yaple, a Chemistry teacher, was voted Teacher of the Year by CDHS students based on his positive attitude, kindness, and willingness to help (among other things). Students described Mr. Yaple as “the best teacher” who is always “patient with students” and a “major team player.” He steps up to chaperone events like the prom when students ask him, advocates for students, and “he’s always there when you need help or even just someone to talk to.” Mr. Yaple was also called “the most spirited teacher,” as you can see by his willingness to don a chicken costume after he "lost" the CDHS food drive competition held by PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). Thank you, Mr. Yaple, for being awesome and congrats on being named CDHS Teacher of the Year!

Students in Mrs. Boyle’s AP Biology class recently dissected fetal pigs to learn about the intricate anatomy of a representative mammal and how closely this resembles the internal structures of humans.
