Each year, CHS chooses a theme that we hope will inspire and unify students, faculty and staff in a variety of ways. The theme for the 26-27 school year is...."Music - Don't Stop Believin'!"

We're excited to share all the ways that music brings people together and we're looking forward to incorporating music and these experiences with faculty, staff and students throughout the school year. For example, this whole school year, music will play over the PA during passing period with many more ideas coming soon. We are very excited to begin a great school year together!
