This week at CSD its spirit week for the upcoming basketball playoffs. Everyday has been different and a lot of the students in the school participated. Today was twin day, on Tuesday Camren told Mr. Tommy to dress up so they could be twins. We honestly did not think Camren would come through with the promise. It really brightened our day when he came into class today. Nothing like starting the day out with a smile. Visit our website to learn more about High Road School
