CH-UH Recognizes Tiger Team Members of the Month for October
October Tiger Team Members of the Month logo

Oct. 27, 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 October, 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 Monday, Nov. 6.
