Save the Dates!
You will want to attend “Getting to Know CHS” on Tuesday, January 7, 2020 in the CHS Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. and a special CHS Open House on Saturday, January, 11, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. in the Counseling Department (to visit the Counseling Department, enter thru the main Visitors Entrance in the front of the school.)
“Getting to Know CHS” is for all incoming freshmen and their parents/guardians. There will be a presentation by CHS administrators and counselors, followed by a question and answer session. You will also have an opportunity to meet representatives from each subject area and learn more about CHS clubs and activities.
Many of your questions about high school courses and the registration process will be answered during the “Getting to Know CHS” presentation, however, if you want to meet individually with a CHS counselor, plan to attend the Open House on January 11th. Counselors will meet with families on a first come, first served basis.
