This week, our senior health students welcomed Hope One of Morris County, a mobile recovery outreach unit, to learn about the dangers of opioid misuse and the resources available for those struggling with addiction.


Staffed by a Sheriff’s Officer, a licensed mental health professional, and a certified peer recovery specialist, Hope One provides compassionate support, connects individuals to treatment, and offers life-saving education such as Narcan training. Their mission is to reduce overdoses and expand access to mental health services throughout Morris County.

Thank you, Hope One, for visiting and sharing such life-saving information with our students!

Ken Bryson, Director of Chatham High School Choirs, took Chamber Choir and Voices on a full day of performances in New York City.
The day began with a performance at the Empire State Building, followed by an uptown trip to sing at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The experience concluded with the group attending Ragtime at Lincoln Center.

It was a wonderful and memorable day—truly a success enjoyed by all! 🎶🎭

🎶🎄 Last night’s Play Unified Rock & Roll Holiday Party was one to remember! The Spectrums took the stage in ECLC’s gym and wowed a full house with their talent — rocking out to Metallica’s Enter Sandman and getting everyone in the holiday mood with Jingle Bell Rock. Truly a night filled with music, joy, and fun for all!

Cougar Academy showed their holiday spirit at Milton Avenue School’s Winter Boutique! For the past two days, they helped the K-2 students shop, tally up their orders, and wrap their gifts. Such a wonderful way to spread cheer! 🎁✨

Halloween came early for some lucky trick-or-treaters! On Sunday, October 26, the CHS Red Cross Club hosted its first-ever Trunk or Treat event. Thanks to the creativity and teamwork of many students, the event was a spooktacular success for our community.

Please help our talented CHS student artists win the Crosley Custom Cruiser contest! We are one of 250 schools chosen to customize a portable record player in keeping with the theme "Band Together." Our National Art Honor Society members sought to demonstrate that music has the power to unite generations by passing down favorite artists, stories, and memories of live music. At first glance, it's a cardboard box of memorabilia collected over decades, but upon closer examination, it is a record player emulating a live show!

Formal voting will open on November 3rd, but in the meantime, all social media engagement counts as bonus points. Whether you use Facebook, Instagram or Tiktok, we have accounts with posts that you can "like" to vote. Be sure to "follow" so you catch all future posts! @chathamhighvisualarts on all platforms
