Carson High Safe Grad Boosters would like to thank the following people for their help in making the 2016 Safe and Sober graduation party one of the best we have had. We could not have done it without their support. Thank you for your generosity!

The south shore at Lake Tahoe is continuing its revitalization to the tune of $500-plus million with new accommodations, retail space, restaurants, and area attractions that reinforce authentic experiences.

The investments, improvements and a confident, singular vibe from locals and adventure seekers has coalesced with the spectacular natural beauty and outdoor recreation to create one of the country’s most desirable destinations, with Lake Tahoe at its center.

The CHS faculty and staff applauds Tami Burgoon, the 2016 Classified Employee of the Year. Tami’s particular job description requires her to both physically care for and academically work with students who have severe and profound learning disabilities. She exuberantly enjoys working with these students in the Comprehensive Life Skills class. This often requires Tami to lift, carry, feed, and assist with other physical challenges as these students need full-time adult supervision.

A mountain of star-filled concerts, blockbuster festivals, heart-pounding athletic competitions, fireworks, and tee-to-green celebrity golf action are on-tap this summer at Tahoe South.
