      Horses for Handicapped
CHCS Student Council volunteered on Monday, April 19th for the Horses for Handicapped program in Jackson. Let me just say that our students were the ones helping so that children with needs could receive a blessing, but that plan backfired, because our students were the ones that received the blessing.

Daniel Blaylock and Divya Doshi 
2010-2011 Star Student and Star Teacher

Divya H. Doshi has been named a STAR (Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition) Student for the 2010-2011 school year by the Mississippi Economic Council's M.B. Swayze Educational Foundation, sponsor of the STAR program.  He is the son of Harsh and Sangeeta Doshi of Lexington. Divya earned a score of 32 on the ACT.  Each STAR Student is asked to designate a STAR Teacher, the classroom teacher who has made the greatest contribution to the student's scholastic achievement.  Daniel C. Blaylock was designated STAR Teacher.  Daniel and his wife, Shay (also a teacher at CHCS), reside in Kosciusko with their two sons, Shawn and Wesley.  He serves as pastor of Immanuel Church of God in Durant. Blaylock has taught American Government, Economics, Accounting, and Bible classes at CHCS for the past 4 years.  It is his first time to be named a STAR Teacher.  The Central Homes Christian School senior and teacher will be honored during the annual Education Celebration April 21 at the Jackson Convention Center in downtown Jackson.

STAR Students are selected on the basis of academic excellence.  Both American College Test Scores and scholastic averagesare cmopared to determine the school's STAR Student, explained Vickie Powell, vice president of Foundation Programs  in Jackson.  "The STAR program encourages and promotes academic achievement among Mississippi's high school seniors," Powell said.

Stephanie Nicole Gilmore
We are all saddened as a school and a community by the loss of one of one of our family members.  Stephanie Gilmore, daughter of William Gilmore, granddaughter of LeeBeth Gilmore and the late Billy Jo Gilmore, was tragically killed in an automobile crash on Sunday, August 21st.  Stephanie was traveling to church on Sunday morning with her younger brother, Terry, when the wreck occured in Yazoo County.  Stephanie attended school at CHCS during the 2008 school year and until Christmas of the 2009-2010 school year. We extend our prayers and sympathy to the Gilmore family.
To understand the type of young lady Stephanie was, you should visit her facebook page.  You will see that she was devoted to her family, her church and God.  Here is her bio from that facebook page:
"My name is Stephanie Gilmore and I love the color green. I enjoy cooking with my mom, or with anyone for that matter. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love vampires and any subject about the afterlife. I love going to church and I love God. I attend Holly Buff Baptist Church and Beulah Baptist Church when I visit my Grandma. I have a fascination with the Spanish language and culture. and I absolutely love music.. anything else you want to know? just ask."
