CCCHS Senior Intern Spotlight #celebrate379


Wakefield math teacher Heike Bybee came to Wakefield not once, but twice because of the people and the feeling of community. #celebrate379


Why choose 379? We have a community who supports our students even after they graduate! #celebrate379


For at least the past 15 years, the CCCHS government classes have participated in mock trials. Government teachers develop actual cases that took place locally and regionally over the past decades (there are 4 cases in all). Seniors are then chosen as lawyers, witnesses, and jurors. Defendants and prosecutors research the facts and come up with a plan. They call witnesses and cross-examine. In the end, an actual jury gives their verdict.
It is a great way to learn about our county and district court system and how it works. We are very thankful to the Clay County Court House staff for allowing our kids this opportunity!
CCCHS alumni, what do you remember about your experience with the mock trial?

Coming from a large school, Genevieve loved the small-town atmosphere at CCCHS. She is well on her way to becoming an amazing teacher! What do you love about USD 379? #celebrate379

The USD 379 County Spelling Bee was held today at CCCHS. After working their way through their building spelling bee competitions earlier in the year, 4th through 8th graders from around the district competed to earn the title of Spelling Bee champion.
In the end, it was a Sister Spell Off! Kate Larson finished first, with her sister Rosie finishing as the alternate. Kate will now move on to the Sunflower State Spelling Bee, which will be held on March 22 in Salina.
Congratulations to winners and all of the contestants. Standing up in front of an audience takes some guts!
