Week of May 19th, 2025
It truly was “The Greatest Show on Earth” at this CHS Prom! All that's left is to see the awesome pictures, which we will share with you as soon as we can. In the meantime, here is our annual prom group shot under our prom balloon arch-
Thanks to our creative prom moms, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Ramos, and Mrs. Soufan, our students and teachers walked into a true carnival atmosphere filled with popcorn, cotton candy, prizes, and games. It was a great night!
Earlier this month, we celebrated the Teachers of CHS, so next on our celebration list is to celebrate the students of CHS. More info below on our Thursday student celebration and cookout. Also this week, we our wrapping up our June Lunch Delivery orders, collecting our final donations for the Hazel Project, and starting up our Yearbook orders as we head into our long weekend.

YEARBOOK ORDERS-Craig School High School Yearbook 2024-2025 Ordering Now Open: It is hard to believe that we are once again getting ready to wrap up another school year. This year has been one for the record books for all of us, and to celebrate the 2024-2025 school year and all that we have accomplished together as a school community, we are proud to present the Craig High School Yearbook 2024-2025 “Branching Out”!
And although our yearbook does celebrate the CHS Class of 2025, it also celebrates our school community and is truly a yearbook for every student. Some of the exciting features include:
This year’s edition of the CHS yearbook promises to be the most sought-after edition that we have ever published, and yet we’ve been able to maintain our yearbook price of $40.00! All you need to do is send in your check, made out to “The Craig School '' to reserve your copy. Yearbooks will be distributed to seniors the week of Commencement. All other students will receive theirs during the last week of school.
Ordering CHS Lunch Delivery- June Lunches: The ordering window for June is now open. June is a super short lunch month, and the ordering window will CLOSE Tuesday, May 20th. To place an order, go to www.myfooddays.com. If you have any questions, reach out to our CHS Lunch Program Chair, Amanda Jahn, at AJahan@craigschool.org
