Community High School’s annual Open House brought students, families, and community partners together for an afternoon of connection, service, and exploration. The event was more than a meet and greet - it was a celebration of opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.

Parked at the school was the Marsh Blood Bank Bus, where staff, students, and families rolled up their sleeves to donate blood and give back to the community. Guests had the chance to meet with representatives from A-B Tech and various branches of the military to learn about college pathways, career training, and service opportunities after graduation.

Between conversations, attendees enjoyed games such as a cake walk, music, and delicious food prepared and served by school staff. Laughter and conversation filled the school as students proudly introduced their families to staff.

By the end of the event, it was clear that Community High truly lives up to its name - a place where relationships are built, futures are shaped, and everyone belongs.
