This week, CHS would like to spotlight senior Lisa Yamamoto. She has a full class load with AP calculus, AP biology, AP Government, AP senior literature and ceramics II.

She maintains a weighted grade point of 4.6.

She is undecided about which college she would like to attend, but her top three choices are University of Oregon, Linfield College or Oregon State. She plans on majoring in biology with aspirations of becoming a physical therapist.

At CHS, Lisa has played softball and varsity basketball throughout her high school career. Lisa is also part of the judicial board, and part of National Honor Society for the past three years.

Outside of school, her activities include volunteering with Food for Thought and at her church. We are proud to have Lisa at CHS.
