My experience at CPHS has been the best out of all my school years. The students, teachers, counselors, and staff members have made my experience even better. All the people here are welcoming and friendly. One thing I will say we need improvement on is the student activities such as spirit weeks and we need our mirrors back in the bathrooms.

As a students that takes part in athletics, there athletic teams are also very great. The only thing about the school that I'm not a fond of are the students, but other wise it is an excellent school.
