Typically, the honorees would be recognized at the annual CH-UH Staff Awards Banquet. Sadly, due to this year’s circumstances, the event has been canceled. Instead, the overall District Teacher of the Year, Helping Hand of the Year, and Administrator of the Year will be announced at the Fall 2020 Staff Convocation Day. CH-UH will also honor retirees and hand out Tiger Nation Awards to staff who presented at state or national conferences this past school year.
