Students who already had a CPS Google account will continue to use the passwords they set last year, but must login using the new extension (@k12cpschools.com).  Thanks!

A Shirley, a rising senior, is our first Student of the Week for the 2018-19 school year.  He has done so much during the past month to help our school be ready to open the first day.  Aaron is among a group of dedicated members of the Class of 2019 who created the incredibly artful drawings on the glass walls of the senior dining room.  Additionally, he helped Mrs. Khoshaba and Mr. Welty in sweltering conditions to get rid of the thickets of weeds by our main entrance and to put down new plants and mulch.  Congrats!

Congratulations to our August Teacher and Staff of the Month, Mrs. Khoshaba and Mrs. Brinkley.  Mrs. Khoshaba worked hard to bring the main entrance back to and beyond its former glory; snakes could barely slow her down!  Mrs. Brinkley has worked tirelessly with a variety of contractors this summer to make sure we were ready to go on day one.  An impressive Summer effort by all!!

Oscar Smith Graduate Kenny “The Enforcer” Easley has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Easley was an electric player while at Oscar Smith becoming the first player to throw and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season in Virginia. Kenny went on to UCLA (3 times All-American) before being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks (1981-1987) where he would be selected for 5 Pro-Bowls, win NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1984, and be chosen for the All-Decade Team. In 1996 Oscar Smith Honored Kenny by naming the Football field in his honor (Beard-DeLong-Easley Field). Kenny will be joining the Pro Football Hall of Fame along with 6 others in the 2017 class and has chosen his former coach at Oscar Smith, Tommy Rhodes, to give his induction speech. Congrats to Kenny and his family for this amazing honor.
