CHS Earns 5-Star Leadership School Distinction

This was the first year of the 5-Star Leadership School Banner Program. Carthage High School was one of the few MSHSAA member schools from across the state to be recognized with this distinction. The "Leadership School Program" encourages schools to become even more active in regard to sportsmanship, character education, and citizenship.
