CHS Assistant Principal Aprill Jones-Byrd presented Darius his award at the ceremony and said, "Darius has overcome many challenges in his life, including caring for a sick parent and working to help his family, but he took advantage of all the resources offered to him to help achieve his dream of graduating from high school.” Darius will complete his credits early this year and will walk with his class at graduation in May.
