Starting this week Wednesday, April 16 - Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Chatham High School Theatre Department is presenting their spring production of Chicago: Teen Edition. This youth-adapted version of the classic Broadway musical is specially designed for teenage performers while keeping the show’s iconic jazzy style and satirical storyline. Set in the Roaring Twenties, it follows Roxie Hart, a young woman who dreams of fame as a vaudeville star but ends up in jail after murdering her lover. There, she meets Velma Kelly, another performer and fellow inmate, who becomes both her rival and inspiration. With the help of slick lawyer Billy Flynn, both women manipulate the press and the public to gain celebrity status.
Performances will be held Thursday, April 16, Friday, April 17th, and Saturday, April 18th at 7:00 PM.
Tickets for the performances must be purchased in advance online at chathamsd.booktix.com. Ticket prices: $12.00 for students, and $15.00 for adults.

Chatham High School students are inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers through the “Coding with Girls” initiative! 💻✨
While AI tools can generate code, the human thinking behind it has never been more important. This winter, a dedicated group of CHS students showed that computer science is about much more than typing—it’s about logic, creativity, and problem-solving.
Throughout January and February, the five-week after-school program introduced 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students to the fundamentals of digital design and algorithmic thinking. Participants explored how to plan solutions, troubleshoot challenges, and think like programmers.
Programs like Coding with Girls highlight that computer science builds critical thinking skills that extend far beyond the screen—empowering students with tools they can use across all STEM fields. 👩💻🚀

This year marks the 5th annual District Choral Festival, bringing together nearly 600 students in grades 4–12 from across the district for a day of singing, learning, and collaboration. The festival gives students the opportunity to work with professional artists in the field of singing and music-making and experience what it’s like to learn from people actively working in the industry. Just as importantly, it’s a chance for students from all of our schools to come together, connect with one another, and make music as one community. It’s always a great day that reminds our students how powerful and fun singing together can be. This year was the best yet!
