Environment at CHS is about generating respect for all, keeping our facilities/curriculum/technologies updated. Generating an environment of caring is the single most important aspect of what we do, because people do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. This is especially true for students.
Empowerment at CHS allows students and staff to help make decisions about CHS for the improvement of all. Empowerment is about daring to make the necessary adjustments to keep up with the changing times in both the classroom and society.
Excellence at CHS is obtained because of its drive for Empowerment and Environment. Our striving for excellence allows us to never lose focus of why we are here--to prepare our students to a level that will allow them to function and run the United States of America and the world in the future. Some of these results are listed below.
