From Diamondbacks to Bengals: CHS celebrates ISU Academic Signing Day

The Snake Pit looked a little less purple and a little more orange this week - and all for good reason! It was a celebration of achievements at the ISU Academic Signing Day! A whopping 115 students—nearly 50% of our senior class—were honored for earning academic scholarships to Idaho State University, totaling an impressive $2,036,000 over four years!

The gym was buzzing with excitement as students were treated to free pizza, ISU swag, and the ultimate campus mascot, Benny the Bengal, who made a grand appearance to add even more fun to the lunctime event. Parents, friends, and family proudly looked on as the students each got their moment in the spotlight.

When we caught up with the students, the consensus was clear: they’re most excited about meeting new people, attending thrilling sports events, and diving into classes that spark their passions. It's clear these future Bengals are ready to embrace college life with open arms!

A huge shoutout to ISU for hosting such an incredible event and to our College and Career Advisors, Jess Woodland and Ty Robbins, for their dedication in helping students navigate their college and scholarship applications. It's clear that hard work and support go a long way!

Here’s to a future full of opportunity and a whole lot of Bengal spirit!
