CHS Families,

CHS students will participate in important district assessments tomorrow, Tuesday, August 18, and Wednesday, August 19. These assessments provide us with critical information about each student’s current academic skills and help teachers plan instruction and support for the year ahead.

It is very important that all students are at school, on time, and ready to test both days. Please avoid scheduling appointments or allowing unnecessary absences during testing. Every student’s participation matters, and we appreciate your help in making attendance a priority.

Thank you for your support!

📢 AD's Corner: Season 2, Episode 1 — The Fall Kick-Off! Welcome Back, Viking Nation! Welcome back, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic summer. The energy is back, the campus is buzzing, and we are officially launching Season 2, Episode 1 of the AD’s Corner! Before a single scoreboard turns on this fall, I have to give a massive shout-out to our incredible coaches and student-athletes for the relentless work they put in during the off-season. Summer is where championships are built, and our Vikings definitely did not take a vacation from the grind! 🏋️ Off-Season Grind & Summer Highlights 🏀 Basketball Camps & Summer League Summer basketball was a huge success! We had the privilege of welcoming Jaxon Autry, Head Coach at Lamar Community College, for an elite 2-day camp that saw 30 of our Viking student-athletes show up and put in work. Both our Boys and Girls teams competed in multiple camps and summer tournaments throughout the Valley, and our Lady Vikings had a wonderful turnout at our annual team camp! 🏋️‍♂️ Weight Room & Open Gyms The weight room was packed all summer with students coming in consistently to get their reps in and build that Viking strength. Throughout July, the dedication continued across all programs: * Volleyball: Fantastic open gym turnouts for both Middle School and High School. * Wrestling: Great work during open mat sessions. * Cross Country & Track: Strong showing during summer open runs. * Football: Outstanding participation as the guys prepared for a big transition year. To say I am excited for the start of the new school year and athletic season is an understatement. We have big expectations for our teams, and I know without a doubt they will deliver! 🏈 🏐 Fall Sports: The Action Begins! Transitions are part of athletics—we welcomed some phenomenal new coaches to our staff and had to say goodbye to others. Change is never easy, but it is sometimes necessary for the long-term betterment and growth of our programs. I want to personally extend a special and heartfelt thank you to Coach Jones for his many years of dedicated service to Center School and Athletics. Coach, your commitment to our athletes, our school, and our community over the years has left a lasting impact. We truly wish you nothing but the absolute best in your next chapter! 🏈 Football: A New Era in 8-Man Football practice officially starts August 3rd! Dropping down to 8-man football brings a whole new level of excitement, led by our new Head Coach, Coach Z! Expectations are sky-high, but Coach Z and his staff are more than up for the task. * First Game (Away): Saturday, August 29 @ Monument Academy (Colorado Springs) – 1:00 PM * First Home Game: Friday, September 4 vs. South Park – 7:00 PM (Let's pack the stands under the Friday Night Lights!) 🏐 Volleyball: Making History Coach Lambert and her Lady Viking Volleyball team are geared up for another fierce run at regionals! Mark your calendars for August 29th, when we will be hosting our first-ever 8-team Volleyball Tournament, welcoming teams from all over the state to Center! 🏃 Cross Country: Building Momentum Cross Country is gearing up for another stellar season under Head Coach Alexis Varela! We’ve been exploring the possibility of hosting our own meet; we'll let you all know if and when we are able to get it going. We will be starting middle school sports with interest meetings for the kids around the middle of the week next week. I will have schedules for all fall sports out soon! I have 90% of high school confirmed, and middle school schedules will be made after the first SPL meeting next week! I will get info out to you all as soon as I am able to. > ⚠️ Coaching Opportunity: We are still actively searching for Middle School Football Coaches. If you or someone you know is interested in shaping our young athletes, please shoot me an email! > I'm also looking for members of the community to serve on the chain gang for all home football games. It comes with some pretty cool perks, including getting paid! 🤝 Welcoming New Leadership Please join me in extending a warm Viking welcome to our new Superintendent, Mr. Dutton, and his family as they join us from Nebraska! His son, Isaac, is a sophomore this year, and we are thrilled to see what he brings to the field this fall. I am extremely excited to work alongside Mr. Dutton as we continue to elevate Center athletics! 🌟 The AD's Closing Thought As we kick off this brand-new school year, let’s carry the momentum of the summer into every practice, every game, and every classroom. > "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them." — Michael Jordan Welcome back, everybody! And here's to an incredible fall season! Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose! Adam Sperandio Athletic Director Center School District
