Week of January 28

Celebrate Excellence - CHS Cheer
This past week, the Carthage High School cheerleaders participated at the state UIL competition.  Our girls made it to finals and finished 13th overall in their division.  We are very proud of the CHS cheerleaders and their sponsor, Tina Marion for their hard work.

CHS Cheerleaders did a great job at UIL State last week.
