Christopher High is a good school with a lot of student and staff involvement. From cheering on our teams, building class floats, to class competitions. Christopher is an all around good school with great variety's of extracurriculars.

When I went here most of the teachers were very encouraging and nice. However, there were one of two that soured the whole experience for some people. Additionally, the "college readiness" was subpar unless you took a single class during a single hour that could very well conflict with your schudule.

I like Christopher High School because of its diversity and the teachers there do everything they can to help the students get ready for college and are very supportive. I would change the involvement from students and faculty staff members in certain activities around the school. Besides that, Christopher is a great school.
