Congratulations to all theses great individuals who gave it their all to make the lives and learning experience better for the students.
I was a student back in 1968 – 1971 at Woodbrook JH and 1974 grad from CPHS.
After a few years I was employed at Maintenance and Operations and found it one of my most rewarding employments during my career.
