Born in McCloud and graduating from Yreka High School and Chico State, Kathy was an integral part of Chico High from 1964 until her retirement in 2000.  She served as a PE teacher during those years as well as girls' basketball coach (1975-1998), softball coach (1975-1998), and Athletic Director (1987-2000).

Pat— or 'Wiz' as she was affectionately called by all those who personally knew her— was born in York, Pennsylvania. Pat was married to Lawrence H. Wismer on August 4, 1961; they had no children.
 

My former colleague and friend Kathy Haines passed away recently from complications related to diabetes and cancer. I will miss this dear person, her wise council, her wit, her intelligence and her quiet approach to life.

For the eighth consecutive year, an anonymous donor is providing a scholarship to a Chico High graduate who will attend California State University, Chico in Fall 2012 and major in Engineering.

The scholarship is $14,000 and distributed over 2 years. These scholarships have enriched the lives of CHS grads and provided them with the opportunity to attend a four year university. Meet the first two recipients and learn how this scholarship impacted their lives.

The Chico High School Foundation (CHSF) is pleased to announce a new president to its Board of Directors.

The Chico community was shocked to hear of the untimely death of Former Principal and President of the Chico High School Foundation, Roger Williams.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Fifty-two varsity head coaches, three hundred alumni, and friends who attended the Coaches' Reunion dinner on Saturday, August 21enjoyed many hugs and even more smiles together! The CHS Foundation board extends its sincere appreciation to the coaches, donors, alumni and guests for making the dinner such a resounding success and for supporting the CHS athletic department. Pictures can be viewed on the CHSF facebook page.

Many high school athletes undoubtedly dream of becoming professional athletes, or at least reaching the big-time college level of competition. Statistically, few make it.

Even so, some people have the extraordinary opportunity to still be involved with major college and professional sports— not as athletes, but as observers and commentators. They’re living the dream and getting paid to do it.

Show your appreciation to your Chico High School coach by donating to the newly established Athletic Endowment Fund. Your money will be placed into a permanent account and invested in the market ( 60% common stock and 40% bonds). The athletic director and a committee of coaches will determine how to spend the interest monies on an annual basis. The money could be used for a scholarship and/or needed supplies and equipment.

Just a little more than six decades ago, George Maderos sat on the bench in City College of San Francisco’s gymnasium.

“How’s your ankle?” asked his coach, Al Schlueter.

“Which ankle?” Maderos responded with a grin.
