Welcome to our new counseling secretary and registrar, Ms. Mina Pincus! She is originally from Rockville, MD but has lived in Caroline County for 25 years, and all three of her children graduated from CRHS. She has a bachelor’s degree in communication and a master’s degree in library and information science. She loves being outdoors, working out, cooking/baking, and spending time with her fiancée, kids, and especially her new baby granddaughter. #ColonelTOUGH

February is Career & Technical Education Month, a time to raise awareness of the role that CTE has in preparing our students for careers and college and helping our community and nation achieve economic success and workforce competitiveness.

Our students have the ability to complete CTE programs at the Caroline Career & Technology Center, but they also can complete CTE programs right at CRHS! Thank you to our CTE teachers for all their hard work and dedication! #ColonelTOUGH #CTEMonth
