Well, it was raining on the first day of school Monday. So there wasn’t much of a sunrise to see at Coffee County Central High School’s Senior Sunrise event. But there was still plenty of fun to be had.
For the second year in a row, a new tradition at CHS kicked off the school year – senior sunrise. Senior students began gathering inside Joe Frank Patch Memorial Gymnasium at 5:30 a.m. Monday to play games and socialize before the 2022-23 school year officially began. Weather forced the event indoors.
Thunder Radio morning show was on hand to broadcast the show live from the event, interviewing students and getting in on the fun. Check out photo gallery below. All photos by Holly Peterson, Thunder Radio | Thunder The Magazine.
