Chenango Forks High School

The Chenango Forks High School physics classes and math club traveled to Hershey Park on Friday, May 8 for STEM day. The students performed mathematical calculations of various physics concepts on the rollercoasters and other rides in the park. They learned about forces, accelerations, and energies of the attractions and had a sweet time!! 

Recently, Mrs. Sickler’s first grade class created imaginative monster drawings inspired by "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. Their creativity was then brought to life by Mrs. Doolittle’s high school sculpture students, who transformed the drawings into amazing 3D creations!

This has become a favorite project for everyone involved and we love seeing our high school students collaborate with our elementary students!

Chenango Forks Central School District would like to congratulate our Top 10 Students for the Class of 2026.

David Chickanosky, retired Chenango Forks Biology teacher and football coach, returned to Chenango Forks High School recently to teach the Envirothon team how to identify skulls for their county and regional competition.  Students learned how to tell by the eye placement if the skull was from a predator or prey and what they ate by their teeth.  Mr. Chickanosky previously donated the skulls to the Chenango Forks Science Department from his own collection.

The Chenango Forks Envirothon Phintastic Phish, Tree Huggers, and Rockin Robins competed in the County and Regional NYS Envirothon Competition. Students tested their knowledge in areas of aquatics, forestry, soils, wildlife, and a current issue at the Owego Sportsman's Club.

Congratulations to the Phintastic Phish Envirothon team of Anna Nottingham, Jillian Howell, Sam Nowik, Jack Donovan, and Jason Nabinger, for winning 1st place in Broome County and 2nd place in the Regional Competition. They will be going on to the State Competition.

Chenango Forks CSD is proud to announce the valedictorian and salutatorian for the Class of 2026:

On Wednesday, Chenango Forks High School students had the opportunity to focus on their physical and mental well-being, while interacting with local community organizations during the High School Health Fair.

Students were encouraged to engage in conversation with the community guests, giving them an opportunity to learn about resources available in our community, while gaining knowledge on how they can support their own well-being, as well as those around them.

Thank you to all of the local organizations who participated in the event.

Today is Decision Day!

Some of our Chenango Forks seniors are proudly showing off where they’re headed after graduation.
Congratulations, seniors! We can’t wait to see all you accomplish.

This week students from Chenango Forks Middle and High school competed in the 15th Annual Southern Tier Robotics Competition held at SUNY Broome. The competition challenged students to create custom built robots capable of completing various “real” life tasks facing “real” life robots!

Students honed their mechanical engineering skills to create frames, drivetrains, and lifting mechanisms. Electrical engineering, coding, and computer science skills were integral to create the seamless interaction of sensors, microcontrollers, and electric motors.
All of the students worked very hard on their robots, and it showed in their performance and results with a winning 2nd Place Overall Competition for Both Middle and High School Teams!

This week, James Clingerman, Branch Manager of KeyBank visited Ms. Roma’s Life Hacks course to lead a series of financial literacy lessons with students. Topics included smart budgeting, setting short‑ and long‑term financial goals, understanding credit and credit scores, and planning for retirement.

Students gained valuable skills and knowledge they can use now and in the future.

Recently several Chenango Forks High School students earned the NY State Seal of Biliteracy, by participating in the Seal of Biliteracy speaking presentations at Broome-Tioga BOCES.

This recognition celebrates students who show proficiency in English and another language. Congratulations to the following students:

French - Aspen Nabinger
Spanish - Delaney Wood, Anna Ginalski, Abigail Quinn, Alexandra Clutz, Jaidyn Ericksen-Hrehor, Mariela Pourby, Reaghan Hughes, Braden Watson, Kaden Schultze, Keegan Christy

We’re so proud of your hard work and impressive language skills.

This week, Mr. Edwards' Environmental Science class got some hands-on experience with coral propagation. This activity taught important lessons about coral reef conservation, species interactions and adaptations.

These coral frags will be kept in a nursery tank in the classroom and monitored over the next couple of months for health and growth while the class works to ensure the water maintains the proper quality.

The Chenango Forks junior and senior class is hosting a Chicken and Biscuit Dinner Fundraiser on Sunday, April 26 from 12 - 3 p.m. at My Uncles Place, 120 E. Service Road, Binghamton.

Advance tickets can by purchase with any CF junior or senior for $18. All proceeds benefit the After Prom Party.

Throughout the month of March, students in Madame Ramsden’s and Madame Dimatos’ French classes participated in Manie Musicale, an international French music contest featuring songs from French‑speaking countries around the world.

They kicked things off in a special way as middle school and high school French classes came together for a shared introduction, building excitement and strengthening our French community across grade levels. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to connect, learn from one another and begin the competition together.

Students competed by filling out tournament brackets based on how they thought their peers would vote. They also followed the international results, which turned out to be quite different from many of CF’s choices! Along the way, students learned about the artists and listened with empathy as they explored a wide variety of musical styles and perspectives.

As students shared songs and discussed their favorites, they practiced synergizing, learning from one another and building a shared appreciation for global music and culture. Many even added new favorite songs and artists to their playlists.

Kail Doig, Chenango Forks Class of 2024, recently spoke with students in the Spanish for the Professions class about the importance of language skills in health care. Kail shared how being able to communicate with patients and families in Spanish helps build trust and respect during some of their most challenging moments. He explained that even a small amount of Spanish can make a meaningful difference. Vocabulary from the medical professions unit can also improve efficiency and communication for first responders and in other health care settings.
