NEWS FROM CHARLOTTE AMALIE HIGH SCHOOL
Hawks Squawks Staff
This school year, we at C.A.H.S. have come a long way on a journey far from ending. We started off a little shaky at first but we are on track once again and students, teachers, and administration are working hard together to make up for lost time. Our C.A.H.S. family is doing its best to make this school year as normal as possible.
Seniors were having some difficulties catching up for Introductory Night, but they came through with an amazing show. They are now planning for the next event, C.A.H.S.’s very own "Showtime at the Amallo." In fact, it is a replica of "Showtime at the Apollo." The same rules apply and it is considered to be one of the semi-major events of the school year. The high students are a bit rougher than the audience on television; but there are no hard feelings after the show and everyone usually has a very good time.
The show will be held in the CAHS auditorium AT 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9. Everyone is welcome to attend. Tickets are $8 each.
The juniors are also very busy. They just recently elected their junior class officers. They are, Deon LeCointe as president, Addisnette Williams as vice-president, Charaine Skelton as public relations officer, Keneta Webster as treasurer, and Hadiya Silcott as secretary. The officers are planning to meet to start planning the Senior Prom and the entire Junior class is preparing for the Junior Show.
EXAM TIME at CHARLOTTE AMALIE HIGH SCHOOL
The time to take first semester exams is nearing for the students at the C.A.H.S. February is an unusual time to take exams in comparison to previous years, but this is due to the late school start and a teachers’ strike in mid-October. Exams are usually taken in the second week of January. Exams will be administered on the Feb. 13 and 14. C.A.H.S. Students should have already started to prepare for the final examinations to round out a fairly successful first semester. C.A.H.S. is now back on track after a struggle to get started and the nearing exams is proof of that. Exam dates may have been altered a bit, but students do not seem to be negatively affected by the slight change.
Also, on Feb. 19, the second semester will begin and students will go to their new classes. Students that have not yet gone to their guidance counselor for changes are encouraged to please do so now. It is record evaluation time and also the time when students may change incorrect schedules or make final decisions on elective classes.
