Panther HomeroomPanther HomeroomPanther Time Mission: Building Community,

Connections, and School Pride

Did you know?Did you know?

Did you know that over 40% of 9th graders at CHS fail at least one class in the first semester of high school?

  Did you know that by the 1st semester of 10th grade, over

200 students at CHS have 45 credits or less (and that is after attending summer school)?

Did you know that last year, after meeting with at-risk 9th grade students one time, 5% went from failing two classes the first semester to passing all classes? 

Imagine what we could accomplish

with Panther Homeroom once a

week.
