The mission of CHSE, a partnership consisting of students, teachers, parents, and community members, is to educate all students in a safe, challenging, and mutually respectful environment, which will enable them to develop and demonstrate proficiency in critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. The CHSE student and subsequent graduate will utilize these skills to become a respectful and productive contributor to both the school and community.
The Alliance for Young Artist and Writers, Inc., a nonprofit organization, was formed to administer art awards regionally and nationally. The Rhode Island Art Education Association has been supporting the Scholastic Art Awards program since the 1960's. Rhode Island is part of 81 regions nationally that participates in the program. More than 50 public, private and parochial secondary and middle schools participated in Rhode Island for 2010. Cranston High School East art students won 14 gold, silver and senior portfolio art awards this year. This is the most awards of any other public school in the state. Our students share the most amount of awards with St. George's parochial school. The artworks are on display at Salve Regina University from January 24- February 13th. Form there, the gold key regional winning pieces will be sent to New York for national competition.
The art faculty, Ms. Gebhart, Ms. Russell and Ms. Sorensen, along with the rest of CHSE staff would like to extend their congratulations to:
On Dec.11, 2009, Mr. Ougheltree’s World History I classes and Mr. Russo’s ESL students visited New York City. The first stop was the WTC Tribute Visitor’s Center. The students were guided through the exhibits by Ms. Christina Bainton. With Ms. Bainton’s thoughtful insight, the students were informed of the events of September 11, 2001, the rescue and recovery that followed, a tribute to the victims, and plans for rebuilding on the WTC site. The students, as well as Mr. Russo, took a moment after the visit to write a reflection. Following that the students took an always exciting subway ride uptown to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Students had an audio guide to help them investigate the many artifacts. The trip concluded with a visit to a festive Rockefeller Center and Times Square.
