Senior Spotlight: Morgan Alexander of Bovina, MS
Morgan was voted by the student body as this year's Mr. CHA and was also voted by his teammates as captain of the football team. To go along with that honor, one of Morgan's proudest moments was having a winning football season for his senior year. Coach Teasley is one of the people that Morgan thinks of when asked about staff at CHA that impacted his time here because of all the time Coach put into his students. One of the fun memories he mentions is when Garrett threw a book at Nico in Computer class. Advice from Morgan to future cougars is simple "Try! It's not that hard.". Morgan plans to pursue a career in forensic science after graduation at William Carey University. We wish Morgan good luck in his future endeavors and can't wait to see what he accomplishes after he leaves CHA. Go Crusaders!

She is also part of our campus Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

One of her most fun memories is "Club Dubs" after a basketball win with her teammates and Coach Gantz. Ollie Grace mentions several of her coaches when asked who at CHA has impacted her time here. "Coach Gantz, Coach Grace, and Coach Dale (all of them) impacted me in different ways but they all made me tougher while still being positive and encouraging. They have made high school sports something that will prepare me for my future." Speaking of the future, Ollie Grace's advice for upcoming cougars is "Your mom and dad are your biggest blessing, don't take them for granted.". After graduation Ollie Grace plans to attend Holmes Community College on both ACT and Athletic scholarships to play softball and major in Drafting and Design Technology.
