Cape Central High School -

Congratulations to Cape Orchestras for their performance at Large Group Contest at SEMO River Campus. Symphonic Orchestra received an "Exemplary" (top rating) and Concert Orchestra received an "Outstanding" (2nd highest rating). Also side note, the orchestra has not received a top score in sight reading category in the last 10 years, but both groups received an Exemplary in sight reading this year which we consider a huge achievement!

Just because it's a PD day, you can still have fun! St. Patrick's Day means lots of green fun.

The group travelled to House Springs, MO to compete in their second ever VEX Robotics tournament.

We are so happy to report that the CHS Beta Club was incredibly successful this weekend at Beta State Convention with 7 State Champions and a total of 23 national qualifiers. See the images below for all of our results. Our State Vice President candidate, Avery Criblez, had a tight race (with fantastic support from club members) but lost to a great Beta from Woodland. Our club's success would not be possible without hours of hard work by students and the support of sponsors, chaperones, administration, and our amazing faculty and staff at CHS.
