Rare Solar
Eclipse Event Observed In Collinsville
Collinsville
students (and folks from coast to coast in the USA) viewed
the rare solar eclipse Monday August 21, 2017. With the moon
passing between the earth and the sun, a shadow was cast on
the earth. Collinsville was in the path with about 90% blockage
of the sun by the moon. Many shared special viewing glasses
to protect their eyes from damage or viewed in pin-hole boxes
or just let tree leaves provide thousands of pin-hole projections
of the partial sun.
2016-17
Colinsville High School Yearbooks Now Available
A
unique cut-out "C" in the cover of the newest Collinsville
High School yearbook is just one of the highlights of an awesome
collection of photo memories for the 2016-17 school year.
The books are printed over the summer and available for students
when they start the next school year. -- Great job by the
2016-17 yearbook staff!
Tulsa Tech
Now Inside Collinsville High School
The sign outside
still says "Collinsville High School" but there
is a new logo on the wall just inside the front entry at the
high school. Pre-engineering students are now attending a
Tulsa Tech class inside their normal high school building
instead of riding a bus to Owasso (and a few years before
that a bus to a Tulsa campus). There are still plenty of other
CHS students traveling to other Tulsa Tech campuses but there
is now a footprint in Collinsville starting with the 2017-18
school year.
Thanks to Keith
DeLozier's craftmanship there is a new trophy display case in the
Collinsville High School commons that is full of the "State-Level"
trophies earned by CHS students over the years. There are still
many other "Regional" and other level trophies back in
the old trophy cases by the old entry to the gym. There are also
plenty of other banners, large state champion photos, and graduating
class photos that are still awaiting a "public" display
area following the major revisions to the high school and main gym
in 2014-15.
