CH Buccaneer Beats Shine at Kettering A Cappella Festival! 🎶
After performing at the CHHS Veterans Day assembly on Friday, the CH Buccaneer Beats hit the road for their first-ever trip to the Kettering A Cappella Festival—the largest educational a cappella event in the U.S.! The group spent the weekend near Dayton, Ohio, enjoying inspiring performances, participating in workshops with top professionals, and showcasing their own talents on the Aca-Pop Stage.
As one of the newest groups at the festival, the Buccaneer Beats impressed audiences with their energy and sound. A highlight of the trip was meeting and hearing Ball in the House, one of today’s premier professional a cappella groups.
Congratulations to the CH Buccaneer Beats on an incredible first showing—your hard work and harmony truly made CH proud! 🎵






🍝 CH Fall Play 2025 was a SAUCY success! 🍝
This Saturday, Chartiers-Houston's Thespian Troupe #11413 presented their Fall Play 2025 “Spaghetti Western…or Mission Im-pas-table” — and what a night it was!
With the auditorium under construction, the Troupe switched gears in true theater-kid fashion and transformed the school cafeteria into an interactive spaghetti dinner theater — complete with melodrama mayhem, audience shenanigans, and plenty of pasta. And thanks to our incredible Nutrition Group, community, staff, Thespian Boosters, colleagues, and friends, the cafeteria was filled with three packed-house performances full of laughter.
