Last night, we proudly dedicated the CES gym as the Richard E. Towers Gymnasium — a well-deserved honor for a leader whose vision and commitment made the new gymnasium possible. Mr. Towers, our recently retired superintendent, worked tirelessly to bring the gym to life, ensuring our students, athletes, and community had a place to grow, compete, and come together. His dedication to our school district has left a lasting legacy, and last night we celebrated that impact in the best way possible. What a special moment for our community, our Bearcats, and for Mr. Towers and his family. Congratulations Mr. Towers! Once a Bearcat always a Bearcat!🧡💙

Good afternoon!

Christopher Unit School District 99 will not be in session Monday, September 15, 2025.

As many of you know, there was a major water break in town over the weekend. After speaking with city officials, it has been brought to our attention that the water will be shut off in Christopher tomorrow to repair the break.

Unfortunately, this repair will result in no water for most of the school day tomorrow which presents many issues in both buildings to stay in session.

Students who attend outside districts will run as usual. Jr. High Baseball & Softball, CHS Volleyball and Football will still be playing their games tomorrow evening.

Thank you all for your understanding with this matter. The district will continue to keep you updated as information is provided tomorrow.
