The Class of 1975 is very proud of their classmate, Karen Wilson. After graduating, Karen left Charlestown for New York to pursue a career in Broadcasting where she worked for CBS Television. Karen later switched to acting and performed in local theaters in New York City.

Karen will be performing in "Doubt", a local production, at Actor's Theatre in Louisville. The theme of "Doubt" is that a nun suspects a priest of having a relationship with an altar boy. Karen plays the part of Mrs. Muller, the mother of the altar boy. Sister Aloysius confronts Father Flynn after the boy's teacher, Sister James, a young nun, suspects inapropriate behavior between Father Flynn and the boy. A wrenching and dramatic show, "Doubt" may possibly shed light on a very controversial subject matter.

Some of Karen's classmates will attend the Friday, April 23rd performance at 7:30pm to show their support.  They invite other classmates - or other CHS Alumni to join them.

Charlestown High School is turning another page in its history books, as tonight the last basketball game will be played in the facility's 55 year old gymnasium, bearing the name of former Pirate boys basketball coach William "Bill" Dunn since January 10, 1987.  The Bill Dunn Sports Arena, as well as the gym itself, holds more memories and traditions in CHS athletics than anyone could ever begin to record.  It is with great bitter-sweet emotion that Pirate fans bid farewell to their long time home of basketball, wrestling, and volleyball tonight, as our Pirates take its floor for competition for the final time against the Floyd Central Highlanders.  Tonight's game concludes home basketball competition in Dunn Arena; as early this coming summer it will be torn down to make room for the completion of the remainder of the new Charlestown High School facility, including a 3,000+ seat main arena and adjacent double-auxiliary gymnasium.  The new basketball arena, planned to be called "The Pit" based on its design, is planned to be open for graduation this June and become the new home of decades of new traditions and memories of Pirate and Lady Pirate competition.  Tonight's final home contest will coincide with Senior Night festivities of the 2009-10 team while also extending an invitation to all former Pirate basketball players in conjunction with our Farewell to Dunn Arena.  The JV game will tip at 6pm followed by the final varsity match-up versus Floyd Central at approximately 7:15 pm.  Pirate fans, don't miss your final opportunity tonight to re-live your Dunn Arena memories and take part in its farewell ceremonies.
