Central Pride Foundation - CPF

Thank you to everyone who contributed or attended our Big Money Raffle event! It was a fun filled night at the Hill. A special thank you to our sponsors as well! The CHS community is the best!💚

This past fall, the Central Pride Foundation sponsored three field trips for Central students. In October, juniors in AP English visited the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. In November, Greek Mythology and Latin students attended Classics Day at Saint Anselm College and, in December, National Art and English Honor Society students visited the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA. Congratulations to senior Johanna Huezo whose painting won an award at Classics Day.

This past weekend, CHAOS, Central’s robotics team, won in the Ganson division as the captain of the second seed alliance at the New England District Championship. CHAOS is ranked 6th out of 215 teams for the season. The team is headed to the World Championships in Texas April 17-20.

Central’s team was founded in 1992 soon after Dean Kamen founded FIRST. Senior team member Caiden Bryde said: “This team wouldn’t be possible without our amazing mentors who helped us get the opportunity to go to the world championship.”

Among these mentors are longtime Central teachers Nancy and David Kelso, who have been involved with the program since the 1990s. Central science teacher C.J. Chretien is the current team advisor.

The Central Pride Foundation is happy to support the program so that all team
members can participate in the World Championships. Congratulations, CHAOS and best of luck at Worlds!!
