Cape Central High School -

Thanks to the Civil Air Patrol, four of our JROTC cadets had the opportunity to fly this weekend. Overcoming weather delays and maintenance issues, we were finally able to take to the air. Cadets Patton, Klosterhoff, Miget, and McAdams took the controls to fly around the local area.

JROTC cadets volunteered to support the Noon Optimist Chili Dinner at Arena Park this week. Cadets helped make chili, serve chili and drinks, package to-go orders, and clean-up. Thousands of customers came to the event with all profits going to community youth programs.

Five members of the CHS choir sang at the Senior Night Men’s SEMO Basketball game! They did a great job.

Due to a Spectrum fiber outage, many of our schools are currently experiencing disruption of service to phones, internet, email, and Wi-Fi. Spectrum does not have an estimated time of repair at this time. The phone lines in the main offices at schools are working, but please be patient as you call. If you cannot get through to the main office at your student’s school and need to relay a message, you can call the Central Administrative Office (CAO) at 335-1867. Thank you! -CGPS We apologize for any inconvenience the outages have caused. We will provide an update as Spectrum shares more information. Thank you for your time and continued support of Cape Girardeau Public Schools.
