CH-UH Recognizes Tiger Team Members of the Month for November
Tiger Team Members of the Month - November 2017

Nov. 30, 2017 -- The theme across the CH-UH School District this year is “A Culture of Excellence”. In that spirit, each month CH-UH is recognizing employees who go above and beyond to create a culture of excellence in our district.

For November, CH-UH is honoring 12 people as the “Tiger Team Members of the Month”. Each honoree was nominated by a colleague--and in some instances multiple colleagues--and the nominees were then voted upon by a committee comprised of staffers across the district. 

The honorees will be recognized at the CH-UH Board of Education regular meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 19. Read about our October honorees.
