Chess Fever Hits Raton High School

Some 48 Raton High students participated in the fourth annual Raton High Chess tournament on Tuesday March 19, in the RHS Krivokapich Media Center.

Twenty four of those students went on to amaze spectators in an exciting second match.
After Spring Break, the third and fourth matches will be played. Great job,
students! And who says there are not great things happening in our community?
