According to CHS instructor and NHS advisor Emilie Pope, the CHS Homecoming, set for March 5, will look a little different this year, due to COVID-19 rules about social distancing restrictions.

Pope noted the five young ladies comprising the 2020/2021 CHS Homecoming Court are: Maggie Beam, Ashlyn Beattie, Allie Kay Homesley, Riley Huffman, and Lindsey Lingerfelt. Ms. Pope added the Homecoming Queen will be chosen at half-time of the scheduled CHS football game at home against Pine Lake Prep, to be played at Rudisill Stadium.
