Awesome moment for for the Tigers' Reece Reints on pitching a perfect game! He threw five perfect innings in an 11-0 win over Independence!

Congrats to Victor Nunez, incoming 7th grader at Peet Junior High, on placing at the state trapshooting tournament! He placed 2nd in state for 16 yard trap (193 of 200) and was state champion for doubles trap (90 of 100)! He competed against 6-8 graders, this is the same state trap tournament that CFHS competes in.

Check out what these awesome Hansen Elementary kindergarten teachers are doing! They not only make learning fun for their students - they increased literacy proficiency rates near 100 percent!
