Saturday morning, CHS welcomed a familiar group back home. 💛

The Class of 1976 stopped by their alma mater to tour the school and take in the Clinton sights that hold a little piece of their story.

Nearly 50 years later, the memories, friendships, and Red Tornado pride are still going strong.

Welcome home, Class of ’76! Once a Red Tornado, Always a Red Tornado. 🌪️

Spaghetti Day is a Homecoming tradition, and our FCCLA students helped make this year’s celebration a little sweeter! 🍝

Our FCCLA students partnered with members of the Junior Service League to bring an incredible spread of homemade desserts to JSL’s annual Spaghetti Day. From the kitchen to the dessert table, they showed their talents and helped carry on a Clinton tradition.

We’re proud of the way our FCCLA students continue to represent CPS and serve our community! 💛🌪️
