Midnight Madness is a 35+ year CHS tradition where we take the graduating class on a substance and phone-free mystery overnight adventure on the night of graduation. For the Class of 2024, Midnight Madness happened on June 19 and began shortly after the commencement festivities end at Codey Arena.
Every registered student came to CHS before at 9pm to register and get assigned a bus. Then our buses departed CHS for the amazing parade through our two towns (this year sponsored by The Sam Joseph Team) and then onto the secret venue.
This year, we were lucky enough to be able to take our seniors to an amazing adventure at American Dream, the massive entertainment complex in the Meadowlands. After dinner at House of 'Cue, the seniors had free reign in the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park, then did some skating at The Rink, and finally got to see the entire metro area with a ride on the Dream Wheel while a DJ hosted an impromptu dance party at the base of the attraction. After a delightful treat of fried Oreos and lemonade, they headed back to the buses and returned to CHS just after 4:00am.
Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer and supporter who supported this volunteer-led effort from the start. And congratulations again to the Class of '24.
CHS Class of '25, you're next! It's time to start thinking about where Midnight Madness might take you next year!
