Mary Griffin: My time at CVHS were the most memoriable, fun, learning about myself, active, learning and best teachers and staff of my life. I loved my four years at CVHS. I wish students today could have the learning experience, the athletic experience, fun and active time we had back in the day. I could not wait to wake up in the morning and get to CVHS. Mrs. Beaseley, the Ramirez's, Mr. Larsen, Mr. Sugimoto and there were so many more good people there. I miss you CVH.
