Happy Homecoming week, Cooper Cougars! Drop us a comment to share your favorite homecoming memories (bonus points if you include photos!)

Did you know AEF supports the CHS Alumni Endowed Scholarship fund? Created in 2008 by the Class of 1958, this scholarship is awarded each year to an outstanding CHS senior and is funded by alumni, just like you! Consider making a donation in the amount of your class year (ex: $19.96) to help future Coogs achieve their dreams of a college degree.
