CORE VALUES AWARD
The Principal's Award is one of the highest honors for a student to achieve. Being recognized as a student who embodies the core values is an honor that has no classroom or state assessment connected to it.
In alignment with the CHS Positive Behaviors and Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Core Values system, each year, the CHS administrative team recognizes students who model the Chardon High School core values: Community, Humility, Achievement, Respect, Dignity, Optimism and Nuture.
18 Hilltoppers were honored with this distinction:
