The West Virginia All State Chorus maintains one of the most difficult audition processes in the state. Prospective members begin rehearsals as early as September to prepare for a rigorous tryout in March. Thorough and meticulous preparations must be made before a vocalist can audition before a panel of three.
This year's choir included six Chapmanville High School singers. Sopranos Bethany Dingess and Cheryl Wood; Altos Sandra Toppings and Samantha Bartlow; Tenor Matthew Wood and Bass Matthew Mullins passed with flying colors and were admitted into the 2002 choir, along with 306 top vocalists from all 55 West Virginia Counties. Their  rehearsal took place from March 21nd to 23rd with the performance at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium on March 23rd.
Congratulations to the six and job well done!

The Chapmanville High School Key Club held its first annual Faculty Luncheon on Friday, February 15, at twelve o'clock in the CHS cafeteria.  To help defray luncheon costs, the club collected  donations from several area businesses including Workman's IGA, Logan Wholesale, Standard Food Supply, Sandy Beaches Tanning, The Flower Shoppe, Future World Video, Regal Beauty Salon, True Value Hardware and Alltel Communications Systems.

Much of the donated merchandise was given away as door prizes, while the generous food donations were used to prepare an Italian luncheon of spaghetti, salad, rolls and dessert. 

40 teachers, administrators, service    personnel and other faculty very much enjoyed the luncheon.  Students Rochelle Ricks, Alicia  Workman, Phillip Bryant, Matt Mullins, Jill Gore, Jennifer Sparks, Amy Baisden, Cindy Aldridge, and Solange Hine spent their faculty senate day working on the luncheon to show how much the CHS student body appreciates everything the staff does to make everyone's school year a good year to remember.
