Chapel Hill Senior Tevin Loke Named District STAR Student
Chapel Hill High School senior Tevin Loke was honored Monday as a STAR Student alongside other distinguished seniors from across the county. Among an impressive group of academic standouts, Tevin earned an additional distinction: he was named the District STAR Student for the Douglas County School System after achieving the highest SAT score among all seniors in the district.
The STAR Student recognition highlights academic excellence and allows each student to select a STAR Teacher who has made a meaningful impact on their success. Tevin chose his AP Calculus teacher, Shirley Baugher, whose classroom both challenged and inspired him.
Reflecting on her experience teaching Tevin, Ms. Baugher shared, “Last year I remember commenting to Tevin that the particular concept we were learning about was a little difficult, and he replied back to me ‘Is it?’” She added, “Then again, he once stated that AP Calculus involved a ‘level of intensity that I had not really experienced in any of my previous classes up to that point,’ (YES!), so I’m proud to have challenged him!”
Tevin’s intellectual curiosity reaches well beyond the classroom. He plans to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering at one of the nation’s top STEM institutions. In class discussions, he is known for his depth of knowledge about NASA, rockets, and space exploration.
His recognition as District STAR Student is more than a reflection of a single test score. It represents years of discipline, focus, and a willingness to embrace academic rigor. Tevin has demonstrated that excellence is not just about ability, but about consistently rising to meet challenges.
Ms. Baugher, along with the entire Chapel Hill community, looks forward to watching Tevin’s journey unfold. With his talent, determination, and passion for aerospace engineering, there is little doubt that his future is headed skyward.

Chapel Hill High School is proud to recognize Cory Raxton, Class of 2018, and CTAE pathway completer!
While at Chapel Hill, Cory completed the Entrepreneurship and Human Resources pathways and was an active member of FBLA. He credits his experiences in CTAE, and the guidance of Mrs. Caverly, with helping him develop strategic thinking, professional communication skills, and confidence that continue to shape his leadership and career today.
“FBLA exposed me to leadership, competition, and professional environments early on, expanding my horizons and raising my expectations for what I could achieve,” Cory shared.
Cory’s journey is a great example of how CTAE prepares students for real-world success through hands-on learning, leadership development, and meaningful mentorship.
We’re proud of you, Cory!

☀️ DCSS to Reopen Tuesday Following Winter Weather Closure
The Douglas County School System and the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency have been closely monitoring weather and road conditions over the past several days. The winter weather event that caused Monday's closure has moved out of our area, and safer road conditions have returned.
As a result, all schools and offices will resume normal operations on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
All regular schedules, including before- and after-school activities, will operate as normal. Our administrators and the district operations department will continue to monitor conditions at all schools and will alert us immediately if conditions change.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritized the safety of our students and staff. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow.
☀️ Asunto: El DCSS abrirá el martes después del cierre del Clima Invernal
El Sistema Escolar del Condado de Douglas y la Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Douglas han estado monitoreando de cerca las condiciones climáticas y las carreteras durante los últimos días. El evento de clima invernal que causó el cierre del lunes se ha desplazado fuera de nuestra zona, y las condiciones de seguridad vial han regresado.
Como resultado, todas las escuelas y oficinas reanudarán sus operaciones normales el martes 27 de enero del 2026.
Todos los horarios regulares, incluyendo las actividades de antes y después de la escuela, funcionarán normalmente. Nuestros administradores y el departamento de operaciones del distrito continuarán monitoreando las condiciones en todas las escuelas y nos alertarán inmediatamente si las condiciones cambian.
Agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y comprensión mientras priorizamos la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Esperamos darles la bienvenida mañana.
