Tanay Pathakamuri, Eva Cheraisi, Meera Srinivisan, Kate Langbo, and Shakthi Senthilnathan are other members of the Literary team who earned top three placements in varying areas of the competition.
This year, the CHS Literary Team consists of seventeen people. In the music category, students try-out for a position on the Literary Team. For the other areas of writing, speaking, and acting, teachers select outstanding students who fit the criteria for the Literary Team.
Once members of the Literary Team are confirmed, students practice their skills and learn the rules and rubrics regarding Literary Competitions.
The CHS Literary Team has shown amazing potential in the Regional Literary Meet, and it can be expected that they will put forth their best performances for state.
