New additions to the school are grass out front and a Zen garden next to the library entrance, also new basketball hoops and backboard that will be put up in the gym/cafeteria area.
Chief Tahgee School Principal David Mirhadi said, “The purpose of the open house here is to formally introduce our school and the new school year to the community and to our students while they’re familiar with the school — it’s a lot different even than it was when it opened in January.”
CTEA open house attendees were treated to a dinner in the cafeteria.
Mirhadi said they’re trying to make the school as much our own as we can and “we’re just really lucky to have this place to have it for the community and for the students.”
CTEA students and parents are all smiles at the open house.
He added they are grateful to the people checking the school out and everybody who helped make it possible. He said he has a phenomenal group of teachers and staff for being his second year as principal. He is very proud to be at CTEA and grateful to the parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and to the students.
