“This {event} brings all members-teachers, students, administrators-together,” said Sharon Lasher, the high school’s assistant principal. Last year about 120 attendees tasted 13 chili team’s offerings, which ranged from sweet to spicy, meat to vegetarian. 

While enjoying and voting for your favorite chili recipe, attendees can enjoy performances by High School musicians including a cappella groups, the Chamber Music students and the Jazz Ensemble.
