Please click their names to see Memory pages where you may leave comments. 

Posted 5/29/13

A few weeks ago, Pat Emrick (Kraft-Chapman) (1959)was killed in a car accident in Coalinga, CA.  Her husband, Dale Chapman, was seriously injured and remains in the hospital.

A private funeral will be held for Pat at the end of this week and in August, a public memorial will be held at West Hills College in Lemoore, CA, where Pat was a professor. When I receive her obituary and specifics about the memorial service, I will post this information on her Memory page, where you can post your comments and memories.

Please Contact Lee (Leilah) Herold (Jackman) (1959) for more information.

 

 
ATTENTION Veterans!
 
Did you miss out on high school graduation?
 
Operation Recognition: Diplomas for CHS Veterans
 
Ken Hargrove, our CHS Veterans Coordinator, has introduced Operation Recognition, a California State program to grant retroactive diplomas to eligible CHS Veterans who were prevented them from graduating from their home town high school. Veterans must show proof of Honorable Discharge and active pursuit of CHS curriculum prior to military service.

If you or a CHS alumni family member qualifies, please Contact Us to notify Ken. The Claremont Unified School District Board of Education will present diplomas to eligible individuals.
