I am SO jealous!

Our CHS Civics class had the opportunity to travel to Seattle and see the Broadway production of Hamilton at the Paramount Theatre on March 8th. The class had to go through a rigorous curriculum before they were allowed to see the show. One assignment the class did was to create a performance of a historical event that they were studying. Each class voted on the best presentation and then those were judged from the 39 schools that came to watch Hamilton. The best 15 performed in front of the 2000+ students and teachers and our own Tim Clarke and Jorge Rodriguez got chosen to perform AND were highlighted in the Seattle Times! I and about the whole staff of CHS wished we could of gone to see Hamilton;, but oh well, that's life. If you haven't had a chance to see the article and watch a video of their performance, here is the link:
