Meet Jazhel ('25)

"My favorite CHS memory would have to be the final show of our school musical, Newsies, my senior year. During the cast blessings, Mrs. McCuiston read mine aloud, sharing how much she appreciated me, loved me, and wished me the best. In that moment, everything felt full circle. Looking back, it always makes me smile because I realize how special it was to be surrounded by so much love, support, and genuine care. It reminded me that what we built at CHS was more than just a theatre program. It was a family."

Meet Rhett ('27)

"CHS Fine Arts has given me much more confidence in performing and believing in myself. Whether it is on the literary team or in the guitar ensemble, I have learned how to be more confident in how I sing, play, and perform when the curtain opens. I especially feel proud after the Christmas show every year, not only because I get to play and sing with my friends, but because we all get to worship Jesus Christ together. Mr. Brackin has been such a blessing in my life. I have learned so much from him and he has always been there for me when I want to learn something new. Without him I would not have continued playing the guitar. Now, because of him, I love to make music and every day I can't wait to see what we will learn."

Meet Beckett ('31)

"Participating in CHS Fine Arts has given me confidence and helped build my self-esteem. I feel prepared to take on new challenges and confident auditioning for roles outside of CHS. It has also built my confidence in singing in front of my peers. Mrs. McCuiston sparked my love of acting when I was in the third grade at summer camp and she has continued to help develop my passion and skills for acting ever since.
My favorite memory so far from CHS Fine Arts is performing as Les in Newsies. Attending the Jewel Awards, making new friends, learning to tap dance, and performing the show were incredible and challenging opportunities.
This program has shown me what it means to hold oneself to a standard of excellence and has instilled in me valuable lessons. It has taught me to work hard, be prepared, be on time, be kind, face new challenges with an open mind, and appreciate the experiences along the way. CHS is an amazing community, and I am so grateful that my school values and supports the arts. I do not know what I would do without it!"

Meet Drew ('32)

From her mom, Lindsey

"Since participating in the CHS Fine Arts program, Drew has developed increased confidence and a strong passion for musical theater. Her involvement in the program has allowed her to grow artistically and personally, encouraging her to challenge herself and explore new opportunities. As a result, she has strengthened her work ethic and demonstrated greater ambition and perseverance. I would encourage families to take advantage of every opportunity available through this program. We had no idea how the Lord would use this experience to shape Drew and equip her to use her artistic talents to bring glory to Him. Jessica McCuiston, along with the dedicated teachers and student leaders in the program, played a significant role in helping Drew thrive and in giving her father and me a renewed vision for the path the Lord is leading her on."
