CHS Handbook

Student / Family Handbook

The policies and procedures contained in the CHS Handbook for Students and Parents are the result of a concerted effort on the part of the administration, faculty and students. This information has been carefully prepared and presented, so that it will be of great value in helping you adjust to our school and become an integral part of it.

The ultimate purpose of education is to help each student become an effective citizen in a democracy. The ability to develop and accept the responsibilities and obligations of good citizenship will help us to participate successfully in the world of tomorrow. We hope that you will participate in our varied activities and thus live a better life and finally take your place in this complex society. Remember that your success in this school will be directly proportional to your efforts. Be proud of your school, take good care of it, and feel free to make suggestions for improving it.

We welcome you and we hope that you will always be conscious of our school’s traditions and requirements. This school is what we, working together, make it. Let us always have the spirit to do the things that will continue to make it outstanding!
