CHS honored academic achievers among the senior class during a Top Cohort Breakfast on Thursday morning.

The 101 students, all of whom had weighted averages of 100 or greater, were treated to waffles — with administrators manning stations with toppings including whipped cream, chocolate syrup and sprinkles.

“That is an incredible accomplishment,” principal Carrie Lipenholtz told the students about their academic achievements, coupled with their community involvement.

The students will be formally honored at a ceremony with their families on June 5 at 6 p.m.

They will receive a special honor cord to affix to their gowns during graduation.

The honorees also will have the opportunity to serve as speakers at the various department functions and other events at the end of the school year.

CHS’ mock trial team has earned its first Law Day championship.

At the 50th annual Law Day, hosted by Northport High School in conjunction with the New York Bar Association, the team advanced to the playoff round.

Then, after three additional mini-trials, the team had won the championship.

Students from school districts across Long Island competed in the mock trials, which were judged by real-life attorneys and judges.

Teams rotated among classrooms and received information about fictional cases. They then had just a few minutes to construct prosecution or defense cases.

The trial topics were inspired by famous films from each of the past five decades.

The Glamour Gals hosted local senior citizens on Thursday afternoon at CHS.

The club members painted the senior citizens' nails and chatted. The Spanish Honor Society joined in, serving refreshments including empanadas.

The event continued the tradition of CHS students embracing community members from other generations.

Senior citizens annually are invited to the high school's theatre productions and are then treated to a complimentary dinner.

CHS students produce big results in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. And in a pair of ceremonies in the auditorium on Tuesday evening, 157 juniors were inducted into the school’s National Honor Society.

The ceremony then honored inductees Olivia Espinoza, Sophia Efthymiou, Charlie Gilmartin, Juliet Jackson, Jordana Kofler, Via Luo, Hasibullah Safi, Mollie Young and Michael Zagon.
