CruNation Booster Club
What We Do
The CRU Nation Booster Club is the official booster club for CHS. We are a parent-run organization dedicated to supporting all school extracurricular activities. We hope to improve the student experience by supporting a wide variety of activities: Band to Basketball, Forensic to Field Hockey, Theater to Tennis. We are all connected to CHS through our student’s involvement in clubs, athletics, and other extracurriculars, and we are all CRUSADER FANS! Your annual membership helps us promote school spirit, scholarship and sportsmanship from the classroom to the sidelines and into the stands.
Thank you for your support!
