Fourth grade visited the Tyler County Courthouse yesterday! They decorated an ornament for the county tree, toured the courtrooms, and heard some history. Then, they ate at Elijah’s cafe where they ordered and paid for their own meal! It was a great day to be a Yellowjacket!
Last night Chester National Honor Society inducted a group of young men and women into the new local chapter. Here is a message from NHS Advisor, Mrs. Handley:
"Thank you to everyone who came and made our induction night so memorable for our students.
Students, you made induction night run so smoothly and ran the ceremony beautifully! I am so proud of you and look forward to getting to know each of you better in the coming months. Your hard work and dedication to education is unmatched and does not go unnoticed!
Congratulations to the newly inducted National Honor Society students of Chester High School!"
National Honor Society inductions are tonight at 6 p.m. in the Chester Cafeteria! Students must be here by 5:30 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there to help us recognize these students for their hard work and dedication to their education.

REMINDER: Sign ups for the Spring 2023 Lamar University dual credit program close on Friday!
The details and registration form have been sent to all high schoolers via their school email. So please, check there for all needed information and documents! The email subject line is: Lamar SPRING Courses and Registration and was sent on Nov 7, 2022. If the students are new to the program, they must fill out an Apply Texas application using the step by step instructions provided in the email.
