CCHS hosted its annual Back to School Night at the Rafter 3C Event Complex last week. However, this was different from your average Back to School event. Instead, it was more like a first-class school-to-career expo, including a high school course showcase and an extraordinary parent, student, and community gathering.
Businesses, colleges, and trade schools discussed career path options and post-high school job opportunities with students and parents, while CCHS teachers shared their plans and ideas for the upcoming school year. Students could gather information and talk to schools and businesses in a fun, engaging environment while enjoying time with their friends and classmates.
In attendance were the UNR Schools of Science and Social Work, Liberal Arts, New Millennium, Biotechnology and Natural Resources, College of Energy, School of Education, UNR Admissions and Undecided/Pre-Professional, and the School of Social Work.
CCHS Groups and Departments were in attendance also, showing what they are about and encouraging new and continuing student participation. The CCHS presenters included Art, Scholarships, Lego Robotics, Athletics, Counseling, Science, Cheerleading, Football, Student Council, CCHS Mentor Program, Game Design, FFA, the Academic Team, Fallon Swimming, CTE Programs Construction, and Welding, along with CCSD’s Department of Transportation.
Several board members and county commissions also attended, enjoying the spectacle of such a fun and essential gathering while visiting with students and the community. There is nothing like a positive, fun, high-energy event like this year’s Back to School/Career Night to kick off the 2023-2024 school year.

Dozens of business owners and volunteers were on hand to ensure the evening went off without a hitch. The event was so successful that it will be hard to top in the years ahead.
