🌟Senior Spotlight: Connor New🌟

Connor is, quite simply, a legend on CHS’s campus. If you’ve spent even five minutes here, you’ve probably heard his name, and for good reason. Connor is known for his unmatched work ethic and his uncanny ability to do all the things. I don't think this kid ever sleeps.

His commitment to leadership and excellence in every role he takes on is exactly why he was named Mr. CHS, a title he more than earned. During his four years, Connor has left his mark everywhere: holding leadership positions in Magnet, Beta, and FCA; serving as a dedicated sports med member for our football team; bringing energy and insight as our baseball statistician and announcer; representing CHS as a Model UN delegate; and, of course, being a full-force Chick-fil-A marketing machine. And I am sure that I'm leaving out a gazillion other things, as the list would never end.

The bottom line: this kiddo just doesn’t stop! And colleges noticed. They were practically beating down his door trying to get him on their campuses. But in true Georgia fashion, you can’t beat the pull of the Dawgs—or the appeal of that Zell Miller Scholarship—so Connor will be heading to the University of Georgia this fall.

At UGA, he plans to major in business marketing or possibly explore a path combining medicine and business. While the exact road he’ll take is still unfolding, one thing is absolutely certain: Connor New is going to be wildly successful, wherever he goes and whatever he does.

We are beyond proud of you, Connor. CHS won’t be the same without you--Magnet won't be the same without you—but we can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’re about to accomplish. 🌍🧲💙💛
