Freshmen have a lot on their mind at the beginning of the school year: finding their lockers, classes and trying to meet new people. But there’s another thing they might be considering in the first few days at CHS: should I run for class officer?

Homecoming this year is Oct. 9. Since SGA officers lead their class in creating their homecoming corners, elections for the SGA class of 2014 are coming soon. Freshmen will have a chance to make their voices heard and represent the newest student body at CHS.

To any freshman who wants to lead their class and meet new people, look no further than the SGA.
