Calling all 1992 Central Charger "State Champion" Football team members. Friday, November 18 @ 7 p.m. The 10-0 CHS Varsity Football Team will have their first home playoff game. It has been 30 years since the undefeated season when the 1992 State Champs beat Lebanon @ home 20-6 in the state championship game to claim the title. Come out and support the 2022 Chargers that just won the James River District Championship and completed the first undefeated season for CHS since 1995.
It is just like old times in Victoria with the crowds, cheerleaders, large marching band, and winning Chargers! The 2022 Cheerleaders are the West 1A regional champions and finished as state finalists ending up as 4th in the state in the 2A division! The 2022 Marching Band is amazing and has been performing regularly during halftime at Hampden Sydney football games. The 2022 golf team also won the regional championship this fall.
The 1992 team will join the player tunnel as the starters are announced and will also be recognized at halftime. Everyone can plan to gather near the end zone initially to mingle with your old teammates. Go Chargers!!! Post-game plans are also being set up… more to come on that. #LetsGoChargers #Charger Pride
This month’s focus for Character Education is Empathy. One way to think about Empathy is “understanding and connecting with other people’s feelings.” Empathy is a practice that can help us grow strong relationships. Throughout the school, students will be developing skills like perspective-taking, conflict resolution, and leadership.
Congratulations to King Catubig on his selection as an IT intern at CHS. King is a senior and plans to attend SVCC in the fall. He would like to transfer to a 4-year college or university and study computer science. King will assist Seth Peterson and Sharon Bolan. He will help repair Chromebooks and assist Mr. Peterson with IT trouble tickets from the faculty.

Thank you to the Culpeper Police Department for presenting, "Hidden in Plain Sight," for our LMS and CHS parents and guardians last evening. Attendees were treated to a wonderful meal before the program. Officers recreated the bedroom of a teenager and helped parents to identify signs of risky behavior that may go unnoticed to the untrained eye. Parents and guardians were able to go on stage and examine the room close up. The topics of alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, illicit drugs, vaping, mental disorders, sexual behavior, were covered in the program. Approximately 40 parent and guardians joined us last evening, and we thank them for attending!
