ASB- Student Leadership
Corvallis High School believes that every student should have a voice. Student leaders represent the entire CHS student body. Leadership students are responsible for coordinating dances and spirit week, school events and assemblies. The student leaders for the next school year are elected in the last few months of school. For more information on student leadership, contact advisor Christa Schmeder.
Mr/Ms Spartan
The annual Mr/Ms Spartan fundraising program is a tradition at CHS. Student participants join together to coordinate fundraising activities and events for local non-profits in and around Corvallis. Activities are held throughout the year culminating with a talent show and pageant in April. Student’s have raised considerable funds for charities such as the Mario Pastega House, the ABC House, the Starker Arts Garden for Education and the Corvallis Environmental Center. For more information about this program, contact advisor Amy Knoke.
