Unsung Heroes

Ray Oaks and Leigh Ann Busby were recognized for their exceptional service and heartfelt dedication as volunteers at CHS. Through the generous gift of their time, they have built meaningful connections with students, offering encouragement, guidance, and a steady presence in their daily lives. Their compassion and genuine care have not gone unnoticed, as they consistently go above and beyond to support both the academic and personal growth of those they serve. Their efforts exemplify the powerful impact of kindness and community within CHS.
