Colville High School

What a meaningful morning at Colville High School! Nearly 60 veterans joined us for our annual Veterans Day Assembly, a powerful reminder of the service and sacrifice that protect our freedoms.

Students read heartfelt poems and letters, our band and choir performed beautifully, and we recognized CHS students who plan to serve after graduation. Each veteran in attendance was honored with our deepest gratitude.

Thank you to all who have served! We are proud to honor you today and every day!

4 Colville FFA forestry members had the privilege to represent Washington state at the National FFA Forestry contest in Indianapolis, IN. Students Kendra Lewis, Kelsea Lewis, Hailey Leaden, and Colton Hansen, competed amongst 40 other states and approximately 160 contestants across the nation to showcase their expertise in a variety of activities that test their knowledge and skills in forestry. Participants identify tree species, measure and calculate timber volume, diagnose forest disorders, and answer questions on general forestry knowledge. The event also includes a team-based problem-solving activity where students address a forest management scenario. The contest site was held at the Morgan-Monroe state forest in Indiana. In addition to attending the National FFA Convention and Expo, our students also got to tour many different museums and historic locations. This includes the Louisville Slugger Factory, Churchill Downs (Home of the Kentucky Derby), Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis Zoo, and got to attend a country concert and rodeo.


Individual Results:
Kendra Lewis- Gold
Hailey Leaden- Gold
Colton Hansen- Silver
Kelsea Lewis- Bronze

Get ready for a night of laughter and pure imagination! The CHS Drama Club invites you
to join them for Bestest Bedtime Stories (As Told by Our Grandpa) (He’s Silly), a wildly funny mash-up of classic fairy tales retold in the most unexpected ways. From twisted tales to familiar favorites turned upside down, this fast-paced comedy is perfect for audiences of all ages.

Grandpa is a little out of practice when it comes to babysitting, but if he’s ever going to get his bouncy grandkids to go to sleep, he’s got to remember some bedtime stories fast. Or at least something pretty close to them. Meet the Witch in “Hansel and Gretel” who lives in a house made of broccoli, the magical fairies Lipitor, Miralax, and Excedrin in “Sleeping Beauty,” and Jack who needs help from the stage crew getting down the beanstalk and away from the giants in “Jack and Jill and the Beanstalk.”

This comedy by Ed Monk is sure to be a hit for all ages. You’ll never look at bedtime stories, or your favorite storybook characters, the same way again!  Come support our talented students and enjoy an evening of fun, creativity, and laughter! Bestest Bedtime Stories (As Told by Our Grandpa) (He’s Silly) will be performed by Colville High School on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22 at 7 PM and again on Sunday, November 23 at 2 PM in the Colville High School auditorium. Tickets are only $5 per person and sold at the door only.
