A big "Thank You," to the students of the Chillicothe High School Student Council that participated in our annual Hornet Pride event today to make the school look the best it possibly can before students arrive back on August 24. Students put a fresh coat of paint on the hornet logos and hornet C's on the entry sidewalks and repainted all handicap parking spots, cleaned the front entry windows, polished up trophies and cleaned the trophy cases, and picked up any and all trash on the CHS grounds. It is great to see the youth of our community investing time and effort and showing their Hornet Pride to make their school be the best it can possibly can be.
