Message from the Principal
It is my honor to share in
the mission and vision of CHS. I started my career in the classroom, so I
understand what it takes to be a dedicated and effective teacher. Our teachers are the BEST and it is my

what a wonderful atmosphere CHS offers.
Also, please tour our entire website and become familiar with all the opportunities
at CHS. I maintain an open door policy so please feel free to contact me.
