001Rally, special education supervisor, Ms. Broadway, athletic director, Mr. Parisiano, and on from our entire faculty and staff, I'd like to welcome you to the annual honor cord assembly and ceremony. Uh my first bit of congratulations is twofold. We're supposed to go to the pledge, but you very all a very well did that uh just based on our morning announcements. So, congratulations for being able to roll with that one. And the second bit of congratulations is to all of our parents who made it in. If you have not tried to um navigate the parking lot approaching 7:30 every morning ever or in a while because your senior is finding another way to get to school, congratulations on navigating that. It is never easy feat, so it's an accomplishment in and of uh in and of itself.
002Um a theme in my remarks as we get into all of these spring celebrations, including our upcoming graduation, is just how invested the students, teachers, and families are in their school experience at CHS. And this morning is one among many ways to recognize the accomplishments that stem from that investment. To get us started, I invite assistant principal Dan Tartarelli to acknowledge our scholar athletes, leaders, and award recipients. Mr. Tartarelli. >> [applause] >> Good morning, everybody. Students may be awarded an honor cord in English, mathematics, science, social studies, and or world literature world language departments by meeting all the following criteria. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I guess I messed up on page here, but I All right. C A S C A C scholar athletes Tyler Lawless and J C Sutherland. >> [applause] >> SCC

So recognition of students and criteria for honor cords and presidential certificates. Students may be awarded an honor cord in English, mathematics, science, social studies and or world language departments by meeting all of the following criteria.

At this point in the ceremony, I ask the department chairs to please gather your honor cords and assemble alphabetically by department in front of the stage. Students, when the name of the first person in your row is called, I ask the entire row to stand, exit to your right, and proceed down the aisle to the department
006chairs to receive your honor cord and presidential certificate. At the end of the row, please proceed to Mr. Hamlin and Dr. Solon, who will congratulate you. As the row clears, you may be seated. Assistant Principal Dan Turnerelli will now come to the podium to read the names of each student in the honor cords and presidential certificate they are to be awarded. Please hold your applause until the end or we could probably do it in Mr. Hamlin style and maybe clap once after each student, one loud clap. Thank you. >> [applause] >> Here we go.
