Thank you to Dr. Luman Strong, Adam Taylor,
Mark Moundros and Rachael Wismont for
sharing their personal stories with our students
on Thursday, April 5. The all-school assembly
was the second in a series of Ted-Talk style
presentations centered on the idea of staff
members sharing their personal "why's" with our
students so that they could self reflect and think
about their purpose as well. It was a powerful
day for our students and staff.

Dual enrollment is an opportunity for students to enroll in a college course while attending high school. Eligible students will earn college credit with CHS paying tuition (excluding books and other materials).

Advanced Placement Testing
Great news on the AP front: We have 276 students taking 537 AP tests this year! Testing will take place in the month of May. Scores this year will be reported back to the school via an online format so we should have a “quicker” turnaround time reporting scores to parents. Please check the Guidance and Counseling page on the website for a complete listing of testing times/dates. If you have questions, please contact Mr. Murphy: [email protected]
School “Rules”
Reminder of CHS policies concerning tobacco use: Students at CHS shall not use or possess any tobacco products or tobacco look-a-like products at school or any school-related activity.

Vacation Absences
Absences for vacation will be charged toward the eight-day limit. All vacation absences of more than one day should be pre-arranged at least five (5) days before the absence, so that the student has time to complete homework prior to vacation.

and may make comments on the form. C. Student’s parents must sign the form and the
